Ithaca May 25th 1878 Dear Cousin
You must think me very badly, in replying to your kind and welcome letter. But you may rest assured that my silence has not arisen from forgetfulness, for I have thought of you a great deal, since hearing of your sad loss, in the death your dear mother. Whenever I get a letter from any of the relatives, I always take it up to mother and leave it with her, to read at her leisure. She is so very deaf that it would be of no use for us to read to her. Well, as she lives some distance from us, I would think of answering your letter, and then remember that it was with mother, so would wait until I went to see her
Mr. Sherwood joins me in corresponding. I should be very glad to hear from you often.
