I suppose it is the same with you if mine do not arrive at the expected time, and so I generally try to send off some sort of a scribble, although
my constitutional negligence

I enjoyed Bayard Taylor's lecture the other evening extremely. It was upon ancient Egypt, about which he ought to know a good deal, having been there so frequently - He told us something of the ancient customs, language etc, and all with a pleasant manner and voice -

The name is Allen, and I wish Papa would write me what he knows about the family, for they are an old Texan family I think. I am always so glad to hear of any Texans coming here.
