Elyria, Ohio Apr. 20th 1883 Dear Anna I tore open your letter without noticing that it was directed to Mother. But I took pains to pacify her for the impoliteness by telling her that an old homely old maid school marm became a cross step mother could not always get so nice letters as that. What remarks some people always make. Can not you come home some day this week and stay till the 4.42 train goes? I will go down street with you or meet you at the depot
