My dear Sister: --

Mother received
your dear letter yesterday and
I also received one from Mabelle
and two others forms. " [Mabelle] wrote
such a sweet long interesting
letter. I enjoyed it so much. I
answered at once telling her every
thing that would interest her and
beging [begging] of her to come home. The
poor girl. What does she mean?
She says she is happy & that it
was one of her choices to do this.
I may enclose it. I have did
as you have, dear, cryed [cried] every [ever] since
I heard of it. You know she left
her [wheel?] forms, but I told her
I never could enjoy it without
her at home.
