York April 28/65
My dear Lizzie
    Today your letters
where received by your Mother
and Aunt Jane.  We were all
glad to hear you had not
left Richmond.   We saw
in one of your [underscored] papers,  Rev.
Hoge, had left the city.
                    If you are
as pretty as your photograph
you have improved, wonderfully
in four years.  It is one of the
prettiest pictures I ever saw.
    Why are you postponing your
visit until summer.  John has
not had a furlough for fifteen
months. As you forgot to inquire
