User-Contributed Transcription The baby comes to me now, and putting both hands behind him, as though taking some great treasures out of a coat pocket, puts them in my hand and lifts it to my mouth, but what he thus condemns me to eat I cannot imagine, for he speaks the name so very babyfied that I cannot understand it. (I hope it will not prove injurious) Next time, however, he is intelligible. Coming softly in at the door, he shakes hands, and says, "doo mornin. doo mornin." I have a mind to send one of his good mornings to you. Perhaps that is what he wants. Are babies in Wales so bewitching, I wonder, as to win all hearts. They are here, at least ours is.Give our love and warmest sympathy to your dear mother, cousin Charles; we have always heard her spoken of as so gentle and mild, that we have learned to love her dearly. Cousin Margaret has written to us about the death of her two brothers. All these afflictions must sadden her life much, but we are glad to know by what Margaret writes that she is able to see the bright gleams in the darkness, and stay her
