My dear dear mother - we did not
get the letter till last night after
dark - so little H. could not attend
the May party - was sorry - for he
would have been very happy to have
gone. Horace thinks he will try to
go to [Y.?] Lawsons funeral - but Howard
wants to go to meeting and I love to
have him if convenient - he may go home
with you - and stay till tomorrow
morning - should be very glad to see
thee - & feel so every day. I have written
this morning to [Am & L?] by &
by think I will to W & T.
