My dear friend Emma--
[...] oh! I am so anxious to know what it is!--but believe me--you will love it just as well--if it is a boy--as though your wish for another Charlotte to be born, had been fulfilled-- [...]
I wonder if your Aunty will pass through Paris, this summer? As yet--we have seen but little, of this wonderful place.
[...]
My love to all & a thousand kisses to it.
Evr [sic] your affectionate friend
Mary
