I do have plenty of time to be sure, and write a good deal, one way and another, and can write oftener if you will. But I still insist upon receiving a return for each letter, before I write another - There may be allowable exceptions to this as to all generals rules, but that must be the standard rule. Now you recollect. I have a proper regard for tenacity of opinion, but not in the absolute sense - So Baby, Arthur Jay must yeild his point, and give his Mamma time to answer my letters with a degree of promptness becoming The House of Kendall's. Our little Master Charlie, very confidently assumed, upon his first appearance upon, the stage of action, that the chief duty of babies was to scream and soil diapers. And acted there upon accordingly - But he was duly informed that that was by no means proper for a young Reed. Where upon after much consideration - he was convinved of the error of his infant ways and commenced an opposite course - and now we consider him more than an average baby in behavious - He is real fat. He was three months old last Thursday and weighed 18lbs. Yes, we feel quite proud of him - and he is really a good looking well-behaved, good-natured, nice little fellow. However he insists always upon his share of attention which of course is his right, and Master Arthur's also, but then they should'nt monopolize, and Charlie thinks on the whole now-a-days he'd rather laugh than cry. How much does Arthur weigh? I like "Arthur Jay" very well for his name, but what will you have for his pet name? I think you would like to have him have your initials - who does Arthur look like? Little Charlie loo'ks like Chandler and Eva. Clara looed like the Tylers you'll remember. Eva's hair as dark as mine - written down left hand side of page I hope you'll excuse these fag ends of paper - I knew my paper was all gone - but I wanted to write to day so I scratched round and got what I could find -
