My dear Janet,
I thank you for your
suggestion note. Make my congratulations
to General McDougall
for me and present him in my name
what you think will be pleasing and
appropriate – The Colonel
the whole family is near me, is dis-
graceful as an advisor in such matters.
I am glad to hear that the children
are well. Kiss them both many times
for me, that wont be hard for you to
do.
