for one now, is my girls. When
they can be made happier by
 my efforts are my advice.
I am happy. In going out with
and associating together again
do it with the idea of enjoying
 it and making him injoy
your company. In associating
you will surely find out
whether the future holds
everything in common for you.
In the meantime you have
an escort you can trust. Oh,
how I long for the companion-
ship and love that was
mine. Tell me of your pleasures,
and trouble always. I
 will fix your slipper
as soon as I can and
send it. Would to morrow
but it's washday.
 I want to answer
Sister's letter yet tonight.
A world of love to you. Mamma.
