Dearest Fanny,
You have so many letters this
morning that I will not answer the one I
have just received from you, until to -
morrow– I have looked in the "2nd –
drawers" of all the bureaus in the house
& do not succeed in finding your
Ambrotype – or rather – Photograph
When you first left – I found in the
little butter tub or the book rack in
my room–two Photographs – I think
these must be the ones you refer to – so
I send the smaller of the two – as you
request – Keeping the other for myself
I have had great pleasure in looking
at them & I think the small one the best
– the other I intend to put into a
frame for "my own self" –
