User-Contributed Transcription Lucy. Bangor Nov 20, 1854Dumbarton Nov 23, " Bangor Nov. 20 - 1854Dear Sister Nettie Your dear kind letterof Oct. 21 - is before me - I am astonished atmyself to find that it has been so long unanswered.It would not have been so neglected ifI had not written to you just before receivingyours, so that I know you would not be sufferingfor tidings from us. Maddie says she has writtenlately. I don't know whether since they decidedon calling the baby a "G.E.M." Gertrude ElyMetcalf. How do you like it? Any better thanEnergine? I am so glad little Mayo is so welland smart. He is much more forward thanPercie - how I should love to see him "talkingto the maple leaves." and hear his baby lipsspeak in Cajun? Percie tries to speak a goodmany words, but does not say any very distinctly.He puts his hand to his forehead andmakes a bow very prettily. I do not let him gooutdoors alone at all; I have made him aof kisses from Aunt Lucy to little Mayo. Thank him for me forhis "O dee" sympathy with little Percie - Lovingly your Sister Lucy.
