User-Contributed Transcription At M.D. Office Window 333 W. 34 St. N.Y. Wednes. July 7th 1875My very dear Mother Again and again have I thought I would surely write you a letter, but some how fail to accomplish my intentions. I really wrote part of a sentence several days ago, and more than once have carried pencil and paper for days in my pocket, thinking that by little and little I might get one written; but I seem almost to have forgotten how to write. This mustn't pretend to be a letter, but can carry a little message of love. Your kind letter with P.O. or. for $10. was received all right, and was very welcome. I am glad to have the money The girls had bought me a summer underskirt for which Mary gave out the money and I was glad to pay back. I send you a sample of a wrapper which by just taking my measure they got for me ready made. It is a luxury these warm days. Afternoons, this week I am wearing the skirt of my black alapaca dress, and a white sack of Mary's. The waist of my dress is pretty warm, but the skirt does nicely with this white one-- We had a nice long rain yesterday. Theadded sideways, along left margin and top:in his bright happy home above! Mother dear, we love you tenderly, even though we seem heedless about sending frequent letters Our thoughts go very often to the dear old home Wm. and I are both having pretty good health this week. I think we ought to feel a good deal encouraged. I wonder how the new table will look at the church. Did it get cleaned nicely? Well good bye Mama, accept love and fond kisses from Cynthia.
