Dear Mother,
I received
your letter this
morning. I am
sorry you have
been sick, and
hope you are
better, I have a
nice little match
box for you, in the
shape of a little fawn
color and white Rabit.
It look quite dear,
I am glad dolly has
been of use to you
and hope she will
be tonight. I guess
such lines look strange
to you but my
ruled paper seems
to have hidden itself
Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
has some but I can write
on this hers
is large sheets
like father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
writes on. I have some
but not ruled.
I read in my
testament this morning
and said my prayers
morning and night
It rains and may
rain all day. have
you read in the “Cat and Dog”
Author: Julia Charlotte Maitland Publisher: Evans & Dickerson Place of Publication:New York City Date: 1854
,
you. Mother does
damask mean red
or and some kind
of cloth or can
there be blue damask
Tell Willie
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
he has a room here.
Has the “young-
America?” come yet.
When have you
heard from father?
I went to Bessie
Seymour’s
Birth: 1842 Death: 1907-10-28
last night.
Give my love
to all and write
if not tiresome.
When have you
heard from Gussy
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
Good bye Dear
Darling sweet
Mother.
Your own
little Fanny
(Seward)
