"I'm so lonesome I can't wait to see my darling sister.
"Now I have some news to tell:—
"Mother is going to be married!
"You will think that is funny; but she is going to be married to the same husband she was before.
"It will be a Crystal Wedding, because it is fifteen years.
"She invites you and father to come home to it; she couldn't have it without father.
"You are going to be the bridesmaid! How queer! Mamma didn't think, the first time she was married, that ever it would be you that would be her bridesmaid!
"From your dear, dear
"Prudy."
"P.S. There will be wedding cake."
