annotation Cynthia to Anna, 1870s /annotation

Yesterday Mary and I went to Greenpoint to visit Rev. Mr. Roberts and family. The weather was shameful, but we had a delightful time in spite of it. I have quite fallen in love with Mrs. R. She is cheerful, hearty, healthy, lady-like, intelligent and social, with round full form, rosy cheeks, and quick movements. She walks as though it was no trouble at all to step along and converses as readily. I received a cordial invitation to visit them often, to come over any time I felt disposed to step a little way out of the city. We had a pleasant ferry ride to reach there, which cost us only 4 cts. each. Won't you ask Jane to find out from Mary Anne Pierce
