knew any one – and spend
our time most cheerily but
without incident – by the
bye I must not forget to tell
you a remedy I heard the
other day for mosquitos – which
are actually here – and tho'
they do not bite so badly as the
Nice ones – still quite enough
to peril my beauty – I was told
that they and most insects
had a dislike to Walnut
leaves – and certainly I find
that if I put a leaf or two about
my pillow – none come near
me – and I should think
as the children are generally
victimized by these insects
it would be worth trying
it, as your uncle says you
have plenty of Walnut Trees

How Arthur will grieve at
