User-Contributed Transcription not understand him very well of course. But he is learning to talk - he says "dear papa" and "yes ma'am" and "how do" very prettily - tries to say Aunty, etc.I have a dressmaker here today finishing a dress. She has just been making one for Anna. O, I wish you could see the flowers in our yard. They look prettily now and will better still by and by . We took tea at Anna's last week Wednesday, with Rev. D.M. Lathrop of New Haven. The first Presbyterian Minister of Elyria and now the Agent of the Du Quoin Seminary - an interesting man. Mr. and Mrs. Prior were there too.We all like the names very much indeed. Love to Charles and Albina and all the dear children.
