User-Contributed Transcription About going East I will go with other just when it is thought best I can leave as well early in summer but we had hoped Mother would learn to enjoy our cherries, strawberries, peaches & grapes & to have time to see more of the country than she can do to return so early. We had not begun to think of the time particularly before your last letter came but in the indefinite future next fall I hoped to go east; now if you all think Mother must go home earlier, I can go��; can leave home with very little inconvenience while Miss Woodbury is here.Perhaps last of May & the Doctor come for me towards the last of June If Mrs. Chase is still in Boston I mean to stop there a day or two. cannot you tell me whether she is still there. Mrs. Child has lately buried her daughter Mrs. Ball & Mother would like to call on her. I shall hope to visit Dunbarton either going or coming Mother wants to see those babies. We are having some warmer bright weather tulips & lilies are peeping up out of the ground but we fear the cold winter has much injured the fruit. A few more warm days will settle the roads so that Mother can ride out & walk too perhaps more than she has done we are all invited to a large party this eve. You have hardly mentioned Percy in your last letters give much love to Mallie tell her I hardly know whether I owe her a letter or am entitled to one from her Affectly Sister Anna
