I wish I had written to you before, but first I could not, I wanted too to
Now I feel anxious to write. I am gratefull grateful for your being so thoughtful and unselfish in your own great grief, to write to me. I dont don't know what I should have done without,—your letters done me good.
I want to ask you dear brother to try to not greive grieve
.
I do wish you would try to not. when dear Mother was
here she said that sometimes she felt bad to think we all thought so much of her, for at most
she could not be with us a great while
We all seem, Eddy and all, to depend upon you so much, And next to dear mother you are the very nearest to me.—
I know that just as long as you live you will miss dear Mother: and so shall I.
And you have always done every single thing possible for
Mothers Mother's
comfort, for when
dear Mother was here she said you was were
one she could
always rely on.
I shall expect you to stay here this Summer all the time you have from your business in Washington. it will not do for you to be there in the hot weather like you was were last Summer.
I dont don't know what I should do if you was were not comeing coming , its it's something to look forward to.
I only hope you will be comfortable and at home here, and I know you will
So make your arrangments arrangements
to stop here all the time you have. the weather is as pleasant here as
anywhere
and
I will like to have you here, it wont won't
make a straws straw's
difference in my housework. I
was so glad to hear that you was were
getting well.
I have been perfectly well the past Winter.—The trunk dear Mothers Mother's trunk is here, it is in your room. I have not yet opened it. I will in a few days and then I will write to you again. It came last Wednesday
Everything of dear Mothers Mother's is sacred,—I have not seen dear Mothers Mother's hair yet, and the flowers, I have stood dear Mothers Mother's death a great deal better that I would have thought I possibly could I have been working all the past week Dear Brother I cant can't write much this time, do be careful of yourself & do try to not grieve. I am pretty well, but I feel as if I could not bear any more I am sorry I have not written to before,
HanIt was very kind & thoughtful to send the $2, for the Express, I am really much oblidged obliged , to Jeffy too,
I have meant to write to Jeffy & the dear little girls
