My Dear Fanny:--On returning from
a little trip-we found your letter
forwarded from Buffalo. So sorry
not to have answered you I [w??l]
invitations sooner- If we were in B-
we surely would go at once to see
you. as I know that for you and
for us too it would be more
pleasant in beautiful [m??ter].
and I hope and pray that we
may meet some day. We will
not go back 1873-until [?]
the country is still beautiful
and we are having really our
first rest. as earlier in the
season we painted the house
+ had roofing done. + other
things. I am writing this on my
lap beside a window as the clock
strikes five. and the glow
from the setting sun touches
everything with a golden glow
We are minted out this morning]
by a neighbor. one of our dear
good friends who loads us down
with good things from her garden
we try and repay in things
that she cannot get here–
you must miss Mary and her
baby kin–I hope to see them
and it is about time that Mary
had her wedding present I
think. If Indian Summer
[st??id] on late this year
You may see us-yet-but
As mother used to say when she
was little. We wont make a
speck of trouble
Occasionally I see Dr Gal. he
doesn't look old-and is my
[prospe???]-Sister sends much
love, as does your old friend
Louise
