Ann
finished this at a great rate. cannot
think
of
sending so much
blank paper home, when I know if it was me should wish every line
filled. I still like Cala & the worst luck. I wish any of my
friends or family would be to have them all here. I have but little
news from the states. hope you will keep cool under all circumstances
and recollect, “least said soonest mended.” Oh!
Jane, the Lady of the house where I board is quite a woman, a very
great amount of gass continually escapes from her safety valve,
something our Marys, Mothers fashion. Her Gall is also named Mary, is a
“perfect little Ducky,” as graceful as a pudding
bug on stilts. Is learning to play on the Piano, and being within my
hearing I am continually saluted with “Rachele”
like strains of gushing melody. something between a gong & a
Brass pan out of tune. There the old Woman & Girl both have
been in here trading. Ah! me. my heart, of hearts, I fear its conquered
I who considered myself invulnerable. Oh! o o o o, o
o Gone your good bye
Yours Truly
