- also one from cousin Mary - She hopes to visit us soon when are ready to receive her - I think I will answer her letter tomorrow for we shall be only too glad to have her come any time now - We have got a good start on the next Senhadior [?] and are all well - It seems so quiet and lonely after all our company have left us. Wish Elizabeth and brother B. could be here now! Mary is having a splendid time with her studies and Sara and ma are busy as ever with the house-work. We had some very nice green beans from the lot today to dinner - and we have almost enough ripe tomatoes for a meal. The apples on the dwarf tree are getting ripe - and the dalias [sic] and gladioli are ready for your eyes &c. &c. We shall be so glad to see you home again - but we do not wish you to cut short your visit by any means. Lewis' family are sea-sick and enjoyed the journey - but could not tell aha - benefit it - I would be to his health. Much love from all and sister Jennie
