User-Contributed Transcription You would love to see the babies now. They are full enough of mischief and fun. Willie is sly - never laughs without a reason. Wilder is full of glee at nobody knows what. Mayo says "I want to go to Bangor to Percie's house. I want to see Percie and Aunt Lucy." He says Lucy quite plainly now. Such a rainy day as we are having - rainy all day yesterday too, and all the night before that - a long chilly rain. I am making new pants for Mayo out of Isaac's old ones, and making a pair of dresses for babies also ad some nightdresses. Those we made at Milo have lasted until now - they begin to be tight. What wee things you must need for the little Alice. I should love to see her. I do hope she will be spared for her mother's sake at least. In haste your loving Nettie
