Hillsdale, June 25th 1877 My Dear Aunt Jennie:-

  Nothing but the hurry and complete occupation of Commencement week could have kept me from writing and acknowledging those beautiful forgetmenots the day I received them. They came Wednesday morning, just the right time, and I put them down cellar in water immediately and they revived and became as sweet and fresh as could be desired.
