My Dear their is one thing I would like to know whither you have weaned little Emeley or not or whither you will have to wean her or not. My reason for that is what we were talking about when I was at home. My Dear I want you to take good care of little Emeley for she is the dearest think in the world except you. It is now use for me to try to tell you how well I love your for I can't do it. My Dear I have some money that I wish you had but I don't now how you will get hit unless I can send it by some boddy coming home for it is not safe to send it by male and I now I can't.....come home if you need anything let me now and I will help you.
