User-Contributed Transcription 333 W 34th St. New York May 7, 1875. Dear Mother & all, We were very much delighted yesterday to receive such a good family letter - we also had one from brother Eddie at the same time - it was almost like seeing you all and having a good chat. I answered Eddie's letter yesterday but as Mary had arranged to take us to Macy's I had no time to write to you also. We are beginning to think of going home - our two weeks will be up next Tuesday, you know, and I am anxious to know whether Lewis needs me right away we are having such a nice time that it would be pleasant to stay a few days longer - still we are quite in margins:not - and glad you have had returns - it seems too bad that it should be sold for so little they ask 33 to 35 in the groceries & this continues pretty well. I believe she stands the sight seeing better than I. I shall be very glad to be safe home again. We were all weighed yesterday. John Eddie 82, sis 85, Dr. Mary 125, and I 115 all on the 5 you see. All unite in love. Your daughter, Jennie Everett
