User-Contributed Transcription I feel sad about it that I could n't have that dear little Conie Mayo longer I did love him so but did n't have him long enough to get him to love me - but you will bring him & his mother here again in the fallThere are scores of reasons for Charles's being at home but if he feels sure that it is better all things consider'd for him to be there we ought not to be so selfish as to want to hasten his return before the time that he thinks best - tell him to consider & be sure and be careful of his health - one of his reasons for staying - that Peaches would be ripe by & bye; seemd quite ridiculous when A feels so anxious to have him come home
