User-Contributed Transcription Monday, June 21. 1859My Dear Sister; Here I am Sarah writing to you, as you will perhaps think. I am down with sister Margaret to-day, and as I had nothing else to do she set me to writing to you. this morning M. sent up by Lewis to have me come down so that she might cut out my cape; and that you percieve is the reason you find me here. Anna and myself are going to have some black silk capes trimed with black lace. Dont you think that will be pretty? I said before that I came down with the intention of having my cape cut, but sister M. insisted on my staying to have her make it. And when I saw that make it she would and make it she would I stayed. She didn't have to urge me much for I was glad of the opportunity to visit. Is she not a good kind sister. I shall always remember these little acts of kindness with love. I am sorry that I did not answer your very very kind letter sooner; you must "forgive and forget" the past and let us try to write oftener in future. You must not think that you are forgotten, we love to think of you often even when we do neglect to write to you. Ah! how I wish I could see you now.
