tomorrow – but he is really not
fit to recommence his duties
now Im afraid my visit to you

I was very sorry to miss your
Husbands visit – Tell him so
with my kind regards – and
with my love and affecte
wishes for your well doing

Ever dear Bessie
Your very affecte

every thing – and find it at times
almost too much – my Cook is leaving
me because I told her she must sometimes
put on a clean gown!!! Will you tell me
yr registry office address! I am going to try
Libby's old Chinaman but Im afraid he will
not like our ménage] & late dinner!!
