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
[1]

about him,  I will refresh your
memory.  He never forgets you
in his letters. I hope you
will meet at home this
summer.
    What surprises me most
you make no allusion in
your letter, to Dr. Hallins
death.  Aunt Liza wrote
you immediately. Did
you get the letter. He died
in February, suddenly. Write
at once and if you have not
heard, I will write you
the particulars of his death.
Enclosed you will find Mr.
and Mrs. Crawford.  Be kind
enough to return to me.  It
was [?]  present, I suppose.
You were shocked at Mary’s
prak, going to the Asylum.
Do not think she was deranged.
Your mother is near,  dictating
[2]

at her request.  I must say to
you, Mary is as amiable
as she has ever been. Billie
Ripp  has received an appointment
in the Navy.  He is at Fortress
Monroe, at present, with Capt.
Wells of York. His wife, Mary’s
friend, expects to go to Richmond
in a few day.
    Lieut. Somebody ^I have forgotten his name
will call to see you, at
Martha’s request. No doubt
you will be very agreeable
to a Federal officer,  ironically
speaking.  Mollie’s health has not
improved. She is tall, but very
thin.  Last week Mr. Crawford
& Jin  called to see Jane.
Mollie dashed in on the [sa?]
[jerk?] of eating.  She supposed it
cost Aunt Cal to support him
and told him the price of
sugar and coffee.  He was
[3]

very indignant.    Jin had to
use her persuaion powers to
pacify him. If he would know
Mollie as well as you and
I do he would have laughed
at it.  Madam wants to write
a postscript.  I must bid you
good night.  I will expect
an answer soon.
                    Affectionately
                        Aunt Sarah
                Jinnie  lives in Baltimore
My Dearest Child
            I am delighted to
hear you are coming home. Come at
once – darling.                 Farewell, Your Mother
