Mary to Abby Home, May 23. 1860 Wednesday Evening Dear Sister Abby We all sympathize deeply with you in the loss of your little baby daughter. Of course you must feel sad and disappointed. When I received Mr Kendalls brief note and read aloud the first line, "God gave us this morning a little angel girl" Mother exclaimed, "There, did'nt I tell you? O I love it. I can see just how it looks", before I could finish the sentence which said "He took it back to him self in the afternoon." Then Mother with much emotion said, Oh! poor Abby! how she will feel - And we all mourned with you - But still I think we ought not to mourn overmuch - It must be a great disappointment to you. And I should have loved it dearly - Still probably "it is well". With that she's gone to that "better home" ere she written down left hand side of page Maria Goldsbury is or will be in a few days on her return and she intends stopping to see you -
