The vacation was only for one week - but if Thomas had not been ill, we should have passed a day two in Warwick leaving here the Friday previous - I had written Abby we were coming, and felt greatly disappointed. You do not say a word of Emily and her family - I hope they are all well - Please write me again, not only before you "go west" but immediately, and tell of the welfare of all the member of your family of Aunts health - of Samuel and household - where Charles is, in Boston of Chandler in his loneliness and all about the minutiae of "that small school" - William is sure it will be composed of only a Master and a Mistress, and I favour his opinion. You must not hesitate to tell me everything. I will write nothing back is Mary engaged? You Are! to go West! unclear is well. Little "Timmie" is growing finely now - is a very pretty child - Little Lucile is as charming as ever - she is my darling. Elisa passed christmas with us, was very well - but has parted with some of the flesh written down left hand side of page She used to have - she likes New York - she returned after visiting Susie - Please give my love to Aunt Rud?? and all my cousin's Goodbye - Yours truly M.A. Crosley William seems quite disappointed not to see you - He likes quite a household and was pleased with the thought of your coming - his experience thus far with our six? has been so favourable that he says "the more women kind in the house the better" Good night - Mary
