Henrietta Webb Letters

Wednesday Morning before School. Nov. 6th 1861.

Addie, dear, Sam wrote to his "dear little Sis." last Friday and tho' he doesn't like for his letters to have company, I must slip in a note to let you know a thing or two that he didn't mention as they hadn't happen'd when he wrote. Laura spent yesterday with Mary Bingham. She came home last night looking quite delighted with herself for having performed so generous an act. Mary says by way of retaliation she is going to get into the horse [?] cart & come over here & spend a day & play every thing she knows for Laura on your sweet toned [?] pianno. Mrs Montgomery is to come over in a day or two with her little girls. Lillie's face is quite disfigured with sores. When I went up to see them I carried the little girls some flowers. Minnow said, "now Ma, ain't Miss [?] Sue sweet? She is just as sweet as sugar to bring us these flowers & she brought 'em purpose for us." every word emphasized.
