User-Contributed Transcription Dear Sister, Sarah has been writing to Eddie so I will try to write a little to you tho I am too tired to do justice to you. Eddie will have the best letter this time. I haven't read what Sarah has written so I may tell the same news. Anna and Mary have gone to the village in the new buggy. They are to bring home a bag of flour. We baked the last flour we had in the house last Saturday and tonight, for tea, we had griddle cakes made entirely of Indian meal. Birdie sits the other side of the stand writing to Eddie, Cynthia, Frank and his papa. It does not take him long to write a letter but he keeps stopping me every once in a while to know if Eddie likes to have an Q and a S in his letter. &c &c.in margin:I wish you would have seen us all reading your letters - every one had a piece and I think the different faces as we read the varied portions of your letter would have made quite a picture. Birdie was pleased enough to know aunt Cynthia used his pencil. The girls did not get their bonnets till last Friday and they have not worn them yet. Sarah Ames Wolfe called here a few minutes with Will Friday P. M. SHe and Mr. W. had been to Rome. She went back
