4 I do thank you for the view of your home, you so kindly sent me Sarah told me that you had improved it, a good deal
after this picture was taken I have just spent a week with Sarah at her home, and have heard a good deal about Cal and seen
so many rare things that she has brought home with her I expect Margt will also have brought some Sarah looked much better
when she came home, but there was so much to be done that I think she looks about as usual 1 Dear Emma Your kind welcome
letter is before me and I am ashamed to think that I have been so long in writing to you. I hope you are able to live very
happily as you are surrounded with your little family although they bring cares they are precious treasures Sarah told me
as nearly as she could, how every one of them looked With love I wished them many happy days Probably they have all forgotten
me, but possibly I may yet see them again
