Dearest Fred, as I sit here in the livingroom looking around I just this minute noticed you had changed the chairs around, funny me not noticed it before, I like it, only wish the French table stood somewhere where it showed off better, I mean the whole table showed away from anything else, it's a beautiful thing, outstanding, so it should be in a prominent place. I am indeed proud of that possession. Now when I go who is going to get it you or Susie, of course, you haven't got a house, but by that time you will have a house, you know Fred I hope before I die that I shall see you happily married, you don't know what you are missing!--A happy home is the best this world can give! Your precious daddy was the grandest & dearest man that ever lived, like his Mother, she was sublime, glad he wasn't like his father, that would have been dreadful, can't see how that dear Mother could stand him, Oh I shall never never forget him, awful he was.
