User-Contributed Transcription mind, Henry dear, for I will write to you often, and I hope you will enjoy yourself well, where you are, with the prospect of getting well to cheer you. And if Jessie is with you, you will have good company. Do you not find it so now? and as you get a little stronger, brother, dont you think we shall have a right to expect pretty frequent messages from you? I do. We let the birds out in Sarah's room today, and they appeared to enjoy it very much. Rosa was the first to arrive out, and walked around the proudest and seemingly the most independent of all. I caught her very easily though and put her back in the cage, but Leo and Hilas appeared determined to wait their own time. After I hung Lily and Rosa up, the flew around the room for some time; first on the cage, then down in the corner under the chair, then surely we thought them caught, but no- out they came again and flew up on the cage, and around the top of the room, then down again under the chair, then out again and they were finaly obliged to surrender, and were caught and caged and have been singing their best this afternoon
