User-Contributed Transcription Dear Mother We received a paper from Mary from Saratoga yesterday, with "better" written on the wrapper. Perhaps she is with you before this, so that this will be no news to you. When Mary does reach home you will please have some one write immediately. Elisabeth has been very anxious about her, but has felt much easier since hearing of her arrival at Saratoga. Poor girl, I am sorry to have her journey alone, but I hope she is at home now, or that she will be soon -- When have you heard from Father? We should like very much to hear how he is. O, what a pleasure to know that God's care will be over us however widely seperate we may be. I sometimes feel sad, and a little lonely. Then my Bible is such a comforting companion, and my Saviour such a precious friend. Yet I do not prize them as I should. I sometimes continue in sadness and perplexity when I might have been text that follows is written perpendicular to the body of the letter after all, but I sewed a good while. Has my silk cape been sent. It is getting so warm, that I shall need something and Elisabeth says I may wear hers until mine comes, and wear it all the term, if mine doesn't come. I wore my duster to school to day for the first time, having just got it made. It is mor comfortable this warm weather than my shawl. Mrs. Currier is trimming my bonnet. She is going to line it with blue silk, and trim it with drab ribbon with a blue satin edge, very pretty 38 cts per yd, am I too extravagent. Love to you my dear mother, and to all from Cynthia.
