Saratoga, March 28, 1855? What joy is mine now I have in my possession two precious letters from my dear Mary. Sarah has received 3 notes from home and a letter from Miss Seymour so she doesn't feel very bad because you have written to me twice and to her not once. O, Mary, how good your letters are. They are delicious, excellent, the genuine article. But before I write any more you will want to know how we are and feel. I will speak of Sarah first. She stood her journey full, better than she expected, has got nicely rest now, and feels perfectly at home, of course. She has had two or three sinking spels since she has been here but the Dr. proscribed some of his old unfailing fire-crackers, and they raised her up in a hurry. She was weighed Monday and so was I. Sarah weighs a few ounces over a but do not write when your head aches and do not write enough to make it ache now remember, my dear. Give much love to Father and brother and tell them we are happy. Sarah feels better to-day than she has in a long time she thinks she will gain again now. I wish Lewis would write to us. Give much love to him and Anna and Eddy too. Eddie we want him to write on the third of April. Love to cousin Mary and Letty? I will write to her as soon as I well can. Fanny was in here a little while ago and she wants me to tell you that little Fanny Strong wishes that you were here and sends you all the love she can dig up out of the ground. I must stop now dear - Cynthia
