User-Contributed Transcription first-rate. He seemed much pleased with it, and the patients say it is not exagerated in the least. They seem to think that Sarah's case as it was put in the Circular, was exagerated, for she says there, "in a word, I am well," and they are not willing to credit assertion, but Mrs. Tucker upholds her in it, for she says she has seen her when she was sick, and now she is well. Mrs. Tucker wishes to send love to you, Mary, a great deal of it. Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Warrel I believe have told me than once to give their love when I wrote you. Mary Tacaer? sends her love and the enclosed verses. She says "tell Mary them's my sentiments." That spring of pine that you put over her glass is there still, and she thinks of you when she looks at that, as well as other times. She has had another letter from Mrs. Dillivay. She tells her that she has not had anything in a long time do her as much good as the letter you sent her. She intends to come here, after the warm weather is over, if not before.

Letitia, I hope you will forgive me for not answering your letter when it was received, and take this as though it was all written to you, and write again to me. How do your little charges, the birds prosper how many young ones are there, and how large? How istop margin:I believe two or three weeks. Now dear girls my paper is almost full, and I am getting quite tired, and can not write much more. I wish you would all of you write to me. I wish Eddy would write too Sarah sends love, and so does your most affectionate sister and cousin Cynthia
