Dear friend

I cannot let the night
pass without thanking you for the
most beautiful basket of flowers
that ever welcomed me to this
my favorite city. The flowers are
all so choice and exquisite and
arranged so artisticly. They were so very
unexpected, as exclamations came forth
from all. You have served us with surprise
all day, and afforded us such pleasure.
I can fancy what great pleaure May is going
to have all along her journeys. I will think of you
all very often and my prayers will always be that
you all, the Trinity may come back to us in the
same good condition that you are in now. God bless
and guide you in all the journies that are before you in life
you have just entered the Arena and the battle is yet
