            <text>&lt;p&gt;[813] Yours &amp;amp; dear Neds [sic] note of the 27". came safe to hand on the evening of the 28". Thanks. ever, my darling for your dear &amp;amp; loving thoughts of me. which never fail me. I look always for my dear daughters [sic] notes &amp;amp; letters as true words of her life &amp;amp; anxious thoughts &amp;amp; desires +++ mine. and they are always faithful &amp;amp; loving. &amp;amp; fall very gratefully upon my spirit. which is too crowded with cares &amp;amp; anxieties of many kinds to be always as thoughtful for your happiness as I might be. or usually have been. when my mind was less oppressed than now! However, you forgive all my shortcomings certain, that I love you very very dearly. that I am grateful for all you are to me. for all the care you try to save me, for all the comfort you try, in every way, to be to me. When I feel better &amp;amp; +++. all [illegible, crossed out] will be well again. &amp;amp; I shall be more of a comfort to you. Than I can&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[813 reverse] while I am so good for nothing as I am now. First &amp;amp; foremost, dear. to give you Raingeards [?, sic] address. which is simply A.J. Raingeard Grammont Belgium. he can send the things to J. +++ &amp;amp; Co for you. I hope Miss Davenport [?] will be careful about poor Miss Jane's laces she seems in an awful fix about them. Tell Raingeard the things are for Miss Cushman. &amp;amp; he must send as pretty a long veil as he can afford for the +++ francs. ask him what is the cheapest thing he has in the shape of white lace +++. you can write to Miss Willis [?] to +++. they will give you her address at her house 72 F. J. [?] House - I am so troubled at learning that dear baby has such an +++ a cold upon him. and sincerely hope that by this time. if you did go to Franco as you proposed. it has given way to the +++ he would have given you. I suppose he has been somewhere in the draft &amp;amp; taken cold. but more likely. you have had some high winds &amp;amp; when that is the case. That white impalpable dust which flies about in France so much. &amp;amp; which +++ upon the +++&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[814] mountain [?]. gives irritation. which causes [illegible, crossed out] that dreadful flow of +++ from the nose. but it is very lowering. so you must find him well! will you tell your father with my dear love that I have information from +++ Stebbins that he collected the August dividend on the +++ Coal. 5 per cent &amp;amp; paid it into the hands of J &amp;amp; J Stuart. &amp;amp; then advised them to transfer the 50 Shares now in my name &lt;u&gt;with&lt;/u&gt; into [inserted] theirs as Trustee. Thereby avoiding all future difficulties &lt;br /&gt;They at once "saw it" &amp;amp; said they would +++&lt;br /&gt;Tell him I have heard nothing from Mr Macalister about the Phil. Wil &amp;amp; Dil [?]!- has he heard any thing from the Stuarts about it? I wrote to Mr Macalister on the 14 of July about it. I suppose he must be out of town. I have written to him again by last weeks [sic] steamer. I ought to hear. something from him about the spencer House. &amp;amp; I dare say your father will be hearing about the 7.30. &amp;amp; +++ &amp;amp; Hudson [last two words inserted] from Stuart. &amp;amp; Mr +++ about the Chicago rent [?]. States savings. &amp;amp; perhaps +++ ground suburban! - will you tell him this for me. and then I need not write a second letter. Give my best love to him &amp;amp; to your mother who I hope is better. I am so glad dear little Mabel is so much improved. she is a dear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[814 reverse] Tell Ned with my best love that I have +++ more than a few francs at +++ which would do him no good. but if he takes the enclosed note to Richards. They will let [?] him have what he wants — or they will let him draw a bill at 30 days, or +++ but this note will answer all the purpose he will only have to pay interest upon the money to the +++ — until he pays up +++ account. &amp;amp; they will give him a check +++ which will save his carrying money about &amp;amp; always be receipts for your bills. for they cant [sic] be paid without the receipt being written on the check. especially if written payable to the name of the person +++ you own. I have had +++ shoe taken off so +++ let her feel expand [?]. &amp;amp; have had her +++ left off so that she may get a good +++ to Travel with. &amp;amp; then be clipped when +++ gets to Rome. She is first rate &amp;amp; I will hold +++ may offer to take it off his hands if she +++ comes to any disgrace through +++ a +++&lt;br /&gt;Please tell Ned to bring the photos. with&lt;/p&gt;</text>
