User-Contributed Transcription (244. The tea pot from which Mama poured the tea, & the china service beautifully painted which we used on Christmas, the spoons we ate with, & the silver mugs we drank from all are gone. The library too with all Papa's favorite books, that beautiful library in which I expected to spend so many cozy evenings; all my drawings from the beginning & my first water-colors, my monogramme book, & oh misery all my journals that I have taken such pains to write & keep, a record all my ideas since I first began to have any! My twenty five dollies poor wretches each roasted in turn & all my inumerable presents & keepsakes, my beautiful pink bonbonniere with the rest! Mamma lost all her jewelry except her diamond earrings, her cachemere shawls, laces, dresses etc. Papa's letters to her; letters from Fenimore Cooper, President Van Buren, Washington Irving & Aaron Burr, (written to Grand Father Clapp,) & quantities of others besides. - But what is the use of trying to write about it, I have begun this over & over again & I never can go beyond the first few lines. -
