My dearest Sister

left so hurriedly
this morning that I could
send no word by her. I
hardly know how she got
ready with the few moments
notice she had. Clarence

was so ill, I had given
up the thought of his
going this morning – We
shall miss Harriet– you
know how much – she has
taken the entire charge
of Henry

weeks – assisted of course

but she had the responsibility.
When I am able to be any
where I am now more

than Henry.
Fred passed a comfortable
night – and seems better
than after any previous
hemorrhage. He is put upon
a lower diet, to prevent
too rapid an accumulation
of blood – if his strength
does not fail, I know
this will be a wiser
arrangement. Anna

how soon. Fanny

took
cold yesterday – her throat
troubles her again.
I was very much relieved
to get two letters from
you last night one
dated the 19th the
other the 22d. I had
persuaded myself you
were quite sick. I hope

is better. Fred's
nurse has gone to bed sick
this morning. The day
is cold & rainy which will
confine Henry to the house -
one of his eyes is inflamed
a little – which prevents his
reading.

will not draw his
other bounty money as he was
never mustered into service
in a Regt. I will pay
his expenses to see his
mother, but he better not
go unless he intends remaining
there – if supposing he can
find work where he is. I
think he had, at least, better
stay where he is until Will

goes home & then he can
return with him. Will
will probably go home
next week – if there is
no unfavorable change
here. Love to all.
always your own
Sister.
