Everything is excitement here over the war and a great many conversations are heard as to enlisting. It would certainly be a terrible thing I am afraid would last very long.

You were spirited on Easter, I can easily see, how sweet to the paper family to join you so many presents & Mrs. MacNagter. I hope you write Lee a nice note (I am sure you did) I feel so sorry for her. I am writing to thank her too.

We will be together to commune the first chance we get when you return.

Papa has your passage on the Imperater May 28th 

Bye [[by]] the way when you might send some flowers to Mrs Cameron & to Mrs MacKay
