User-Contributed Transcription for Mr. Rowley. Bryant would have been good also. I am perfectly satisfied about it, though I had not thought to get a book, quite so expensive. If your mother thinks of any book she would like for any of the children, we will send for it. I had procured those I mentioned before your letter came. Mayo has not tumbled out of bed yet, and I do not believe we will let him.I like the pen you got very much indeed. Percie is not very well - bad cold yet. Had a touch of croup since you left. I suppose you are in Illinois before this. Remember me to the old friends there. Mrs. Keyes, the people of Mt. Hawkins, Mr. Smith, etc. I will send you commercial sheets when I get home, so do not make wry faces at this if you can refrain therefrom. Lucy says be doubly careful of your health with no wife to take care for you or of you - So do, will you not my Isaac? Mayo kisses papa in the case, all these days. So does your own,Nettie.
