lou got a very nice letter yesterday from hattee poor dear child she talks like a woman and more sensible than many) she said her papa thought he and she and jessie would go to board to mr Buckleys that they had offered to take them and mrs buckly be a kind of mother to me and little jessie poor hattie it made the tears come in my eyes every time i read it but she said it wasent like your own relatives

but her papa thought it was the next best thing for them) i was very glad to hear the arrangement i think its much better than keeping house poor little girls i hope their father will be spared to them hatty sent me a rose that was on poor mamas coffin she said) if she could see her dear grandma) every few lines she would say how her dear mama talked so much about grandma
i think by what i have heard them speak of mr and mrs buckley they are very good folks) i think jeffy takes his bereavement very hard)
