New York Nov. 10th, 187 Dear Sister Anna; Enclosed please find P.O. Order for Eight-dollars in Mother's Name sent by your humble servant. Hope more money will come in this month so Mother will not feel so cramped. What do you all think about Election? Was ever any thing so close? The excitement down town is said to be intense. So far as I have seen, every one feels pretty serious, and quiet with the pressure of suspense.

Twenty years ago today dear Robert went home. So we are gathered in one after another! How it draws our thoughts & affections to the other world to have so many of our dear ones there! We need have no more anxiety for them! Good Bye again dearie, Love to all from Mary
