Horace & Howard both
will want their love sent
to thee. I am feeling very
well. I hope thee is well -
do have a good time &
not worry one bit about
home - for there is no
need of it. Lizzie gets a-

Hope thee got it safely.
Think we shall surely
hear from thee tomorrow.

As always a great
deal of love from

thy Mary.
