Thursday morning How refreshed and invigorated you feel after a few hours sleep. I am wondering just now whether you are getting up to prepare Papa's breakfast or whether Mamma as usual has been three or four times to rouse you. The latter without the aid of second sight is the most probable conclusion I can arrive at. What fresh piece of ornamental work have you on hand since Mamma's cuffs were finished? Have you been to Evans Bay with Mrs Kirkton yet. The more frequently you go out with such a kind good natured companion the better it will greatly improve your strength. Now puss I must say Adieu! Yours always Donald McLean
