I am unable to edit this page however I wonder if the second line of this page says 'her reply' as opposed to 'the reply', based on the similarity in the handwriting of this word and of 'here' on page 1. Lyttelton should also be spelt with an 'el'...

I think 'The children and Mdlle Remy wish to be remembered by you' is even more appropriate than 'The children and Mdlle Remy wish to be remembered to you'.

I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing transcribing the letter head as well, and I haven't yet found if there are conventions for how to distinguish between the printed letter head and the handwritten letter on it.

I verified the name "Mrs. Charles Hernalin" on digital sources but found little information other than that she was from Chicago and she was involved in the movement.

According to ancestry.com, "Prupia" is actually "Prussia." In the German language, "ss" is often written as what appears to be a long-tailed "p". Also according to ancestry.com, "Hoppel" may be a German family name. I don't know what "Daury/Dairy" means.

Found last name "Arnesy" in Ancestry.com with a different first name, so assuming "Arnesy" is an actual surname.

The "New Orleans Cotton Exposition" was actually held in 1884, but the letter is dated 1886. It makes reference to arriving in this house after the New Orleans Cotton Exposition, so unclear on date.

There should be a "save changes" button at the top right, but there is not. This glitch appears to happen only to documents that have been started but not finished. If you start a document that has not been transcribed at all, you should see the save butt
