New Hampton

Dear Mother,

Here we are at last at sister Elizabeth's. Anna is lying on the lounge and Eddie and I are writing a few words home. Anna seems to stand the journey much better than we feared she would: of course she is very tired but I trust not seriously so, her appetite has been very good all the way. We rather think she likes the taste of money? in her food. We find Mrs Butter here all alone and she gives us a kind and hearty welcome. She received Mary's letter about one hour before we reached here. So she had supper ready and was standing on the piazza watching for us; she sends her love to you all. E. and the children have not returned yet; some business detains them and they cannot probably get home till Tuesday.
