they have had a beautiful day for it
I shall be quite sorry if I do not get to
see Sis before she goes to school tho I am
very glad you have made up your minds
to send her as she seemed so anxious to
go. your family will be quite decreased
I think when one of them comes to stay
with me a while it will be very pleasant
to have one of them here when I get fixa
and as to Sarah I believe she looks on this
as one of her homes. I believe I must
conclude soon give my love to Mother
and kiss the little boy for me, I quite want
to see him, but one week will soon pass
away and then I hope to be seated again
in our family, circle, my love to all as
if named and you claim the largest share
for thyself,

from thy affectionate daughterM. H. Schofield
