swollen face &c. I hope now I shall get about soon
again. Mahlon spent a few days at Washington
& one or two in Phila
Place
Sat eve'g a long two weeks to me. I have a nice little
boy grows very fast is midling good with dark hair
& blue black eyes & named “Francis Allyn” tell my
Sister Mrs F. A.
Person

cheeks are as red as a rose, talks all about it ——
we have hateful March weather, but no “freshets” ——
I hope your little family are well, you do not tell
me that you will bring them to Cape Island
Place

wish to see you too bad – & it will do Freddy

municative, but he speaks in very high terms of

kiss the children, you would make them cry —
Yours affectionately,
Louisa C.C.
