I will try to write again soon. Must write to Elmina in a day or two.
The baby thinks Granpa’s saw-man is the nicest thing he can find. Angelo is so choice of it he will not let him touch it often.
Affectionately
Angeline.
Georgetown March 22nd [1877 probably]
Dear Sister Mary: We are working on our grounds some as the weather permits. It will be very pretty here when we get it done. And our house is as convenient as can be now. Tell Mother I have set out a rose bush for her, and am going to plant one for Grandma Hall too.
Samie has improved a great deal the last year, he is getting stout and tall. Angelo is as fat as a pig and as keen as a knife. Percy is a real nice little boy, he has learned most of his letters. Asaph Jr. will go ahead of his Father yet if he keeps his health. I never saw a boy of his age study as he does, every thing must be right, and be understood before he will go an inch.
I am pretty well, but have to be careful, if I get sick a little am sure to have a little malarial fever.
Much love to you all and write soon telling me how Mother is.
Affectionately
