User-Contributed Transcription astonished to get so long a letter from Eliab? I presume you have received it before now. We tell him he is naughty about writing - and Mallie says she cannot write to people she has never seen - We were all delighted to receive your daguerrotype, Isaac, but wish Nettie's influence over you was sufficient to remove the slouched hat and whiskers. You must be good and submit yourself to her better judgement in regard to some matters. It is most right. I am tired, and baby will need me - good night all dear ones - Charles do write to me - a good long letter, soon. With much love to all -Sister Lucy
