  My darling My dear little sis, The money order came without any miss. Mary thanks to dear Father to Mother it all. for never varying kindness to poor little Poll.  In a very few minutes I shall have it exchanged. Then how "flush" I shall be, and wont it seem strange!! New shoes & a muff it may be I'll get another wont they say she looks better yet than ever we've seen her! guess she will now do! just see how she puts out her pretty new shoe!! My (Jennie's) velvet cape must be relined & to fix that 

in left margin: my love to all

Will they they not come or get through N.Y.! Good bye with bushels of love I am quite well now. Many kisses from Mary
