Hillsdale, Michigan May 9th 1877. My Dear Grandma:

    I was more blessed than I can tell you to receive a letter from you last week, and when I came to your name signed Elizabeth Everett, it seemed almost as though it was my own dear mother's signature. Everything is unclear that reminds me of her and so your letter was doubly clear - You seem so very nice and dear to me as my mother's mother, and I always strength? her very mud? like yours. I would give a great deal to see you now and feel almost as thought I had my unclear mother back.
