real every foot of that farm is to me. And though

I can never see my own darling's face among the

roses it will make me so happy to see this poor

dead mothers pet get red and rosy in the country

air. And till the farm comes we shall always have

enough for her, without your ever having to black

up again as you did for me the winter I was sick

my own poor boy!

Write me yes—you will be glad when you see

her. And now love and regards to Mrs. Barry and
