My darling - What a dear letter thee sent me yesterday - the very [???] love letter thee ever wrote me, and I have read and reread it, and even took it to bed with me last night, which was doubtless very silly, but made me happy. Dear, I just feel some times that I am all love for thee, and I don't care what else life holds, as long as we can take them together. [???] was very nice to have, and I enjoyed reading it - they must be having a good time up there after all
Perhaps the Presbyterians have work to be done.
Thank you for the ties -just right as usual, and I have been wearing them with loving pleasure. I wrote to Mrs. Townshend lately, and intend soon sending some stamps to Mrs. Bruce soon. Indeed we have rich memories dear - we have so much real wealth that if we had money too ew would be in that state of perfect happiness which is not vouchsafed to mortals. Long fellows "Goblet of Life" is a pleasure to me, & I read it so often - thee copied it for me.
[sideways] Jean is so devoted to me, more so than he ever seemed to be in N. Y. the more I see of children the more satisfied I am with ours Love for thee Marg L

the trouble and anxiety of the winter. Has the [backer?] gone through entirely? I should judge so from Drs' letter, but perhaps there is a chance yet. Does Mr. Crank ever say any thing about it - I can't altogether blame him for feeling a little rancor towards Dr. if things happened as he told us. Well it is not our business and we probably don't know but one side.
We have only to be loyal friends, and that is not always easy.
I wonder if thee can get an official list of the "tirage" in this Exposition lottery. I came across my old ticket the other day, and they are still going on. I wish thee would try to send me the list from the beginning - We have not looked at it since we left France - I always had faith in that ticket because I had Bobbins [???] when I bought it.
I am just getting in that state of desiring to see thee that I can't wait much longer: Father goes up nect monday could thee come back with him - if thee has business in Phila. thee could do it all at once
