Warwick Feb 27th 1859 Dear Sister Abby: Emily is going to answer your letter and I always claim a right to answer every letter too. So I am going to write a little myself. Of course I read your letter just as quick as I got home from school, Emily come to the door and told me that she's got one, and invited me to come in and spend the evening, so I was glad to of course. But we were sorry to hear you were still so great a sufferer. Oh! Abby I'm really sorry for you. You've been sick so long I presume you do sometimes feel almost discouraged. But then you must'nt, for you know you don't get well so fast, if you don't keep up good spirits. Besides I've no doubt you'll be all better soon, when you have weaned little Eddie. written down left hand side of page I'm, sorry I hav'nt got that picture ready for you Abby - The truth is I have so many schools, to keep I dont have a chance to do anything else - But if you will come home you shall have it to carry back with you - and we'll both get hold of mother and have he Daguerreotype taken - I don't believe she ever will unless we do - There now good bye for this time with love to Charlie and Mr Kendall and Eddie - - - yours affectionatley Mary
