(Postmarked June 18 1866[?]),
My Dear Mary,
It is nearly tea time and I
intend spending the short time in chatting with
thee. We had a very good sermon from a Mr
Wheeler a Presbyterian minister in Town.
It is still raining quite hard, I sincerely hope
that next Sunday will be much pleasanter
than to-day. Mary, who will go down with thee

enormous Sundowns(?). Many of the girls are leav-
ing this early some Stave been here since last
September. The Tea bell is ringing come and
take Tea with me, I will give you the best
I can I remain yours lovingly
Gaily.
