I saw Cousin J. Gibson this evening, and gave him the compliments of our family he is? in good health, he is here for the purpose? of obtaining a situation as Park? keeper? but has not as yet succeeded.

I unclear write you again from Cairo, say unclear Charly that I will write him also?and inform him how we are getting along?.

I feel quite lonely this evening, and as? usual am Thinking of you, and our little "One". how I want to see you, I expect those around me, Think I am but little company? as I say but little to any one of them? I presume when I have the pleasure? of seeing you, I will in? feel a most? talkative mood.
