User-Contributed Transcription 243/ grand-father, great-grand-father & even further back, besides those of all my friends, & Sister has lost all of hers; but worse far far worse than all, I have not a morsel left of any of the letters Papa wrote to me; no not one; they were so precious that I did not dare to carry even a few around with me; I had them back to when I was a wee little girl six years old, & I used to write to him & he to me. I remember one, My dear Papa, There was an old man named Grundy, who wipped all his boys every Monday so all through the week, unable to speak, they only had rest on a Sunday. Your loving little July.Nice 1861 He took the most extraordinary pains during his long illness to write me the kindest & best letters that ever a Father wrote to his daughter & he kept mine as carefully as I did his; I had them all every one, & now? If I had put them in the safe it would have done no good either for it was burned with the Newberry block; the silver met the same fate in a bank on the South side, & some of it was very pretty.
