Brooklyn, Oct. 28./67 Dear Sister Cynthia; Your very welcome letter was brought to the house this forenoon. I was very glad to learn that you were getting along so comfortably at home. Suppose you are busy now with Cen. Wish I could help you. There is no preparatory course of lectures, so I am having a good time to rest and get everything arranged. I cannot help feeling badly to think that the girls might have waited to see Br. Butler after all. It is better for me of course, to have had a good time getting ready, and to be here a little while before. Still I see next page

in left margin and top: I rec'd the umbrella and parasol all right, thank Jennie. Mr. G. rec'd the bags a few minutes before I got them. Mr. Francis was unwilling to check them but said they would go all right. They were in the baggage car, and were taken by the expressman to the store. They had to pay 25cts. on them. Mr. G. said if they had been put in the freight car, they would have gone to the freight house and they could have got them from there. Has Anna had the wine yet? I am glad to hear that she is so comfortable. Hope you got the letter which I wrote immediately on reaching here. Hope I shall get a letter from my baby and from Bobbie before long. I am getting rested nicely and am having a nice chance to finish this sewing.
