leg and feels very happy to think she is doing something. O! the

What do you think of my back hand writing + I am getting so that
I write almost anyway, having to scribble notes so much. Jeanie
was very anxious to get my opinion of Howard. It seems he has been
quite attentive to her and I think she quite likes him. But Carlotta

stress on wealth than he would if he had not always had to economize
so much. I have had my criticisms meanitme and have give just time
to say Good bye., before we are excused. I wonder if you are as tired
of waiting for the "pictures" as I am.

Love from Theodora.
