At have been out with Mr. here Friday, and Monday. The gran-grahs are a perfect show, wind, brush, & pretty pink flowers have come out. I will go there by trouble, on Sunday & the next week to Doughty Park, and pitched myself a place by the hill from my head. Captain wanted to get hold of Mr. Faul, but can't find him. If trouble you know or me thing trip by you had you find it pleasant; you spent very happy though I was behind you here last spring. Spring through so going for the year are a wonderful knowledge. You brighten my residence from America. Monday evening Sept. 19th My dearest Lottie, I was so glad to get your note this afternoon, and to know that you find the trip so far pleasant. Just after you left a letter came from the mail, that from the postmark and block forder I know must be from Lizzie Lyttle, so I opened it as you told me to do. As you thought
The first, Michigan, Mrs. L. went first and Lizzie and her brother followed in the spring. She writes very kindly, sends thanks for the invitation to the annual, wished Bob Smith to have them it, you both had been so kind to her. She says they have been bringing home at 464 Jefferson Avenue, Hebrill, Smith. Put the yearly homestead income forward, they are moving fast in Alabaster to see Aunt keeping them. Gladthing made And the others have to hate. A chance App. I hear by the paper that Fine Crece and her husband and Julia Crawfurd are in Europe, at Rio de Janeiro, I believe Magdane C. suffers from insomnia, and there is a note at that place. I wish you and Ruth could go to the other side together, you would do it thoroughly. The sisters have returned to the Island. Lucy of course is better, the Doctor on the steamer did not know much about such cases, and Ruth has to look after her himself. He has made many sketches, and is going to bring them to show us.
