User-Contributed Transcription [1887 to Anna]
It is quite a comfort to us to have our children come home from Oberlin and stay over Sunday, They have not all been at home together since the term commenced. We sort of like to go into Church with the several of them. Harlan came home with his tall black stove pipe black silk hat, the first time we have seen him so. Also the small Harry also came wearing a white hat of the same kind which the large freshman class have adopted. The little fellow looks considerable under it, at first view at least.
Your last letter I think from you made some enquiries about Wilder's business in Lawrence but I think I have answered them.
