forded ; How did you enjoy your visit dearest
Sister? Tell me all about it & about your own
sweet self: how often you thought of your Pet
&c &c : An all-wise Providence has seen fit
to take from us, our little darling Johnie
Braxton, but we cannot grieve that there is
one more added to the home-circle above, for
we feel that "our loss is his gain" : There is still
one little babe that bears your family name
dear Bettie, for my Sister has named her
youngest daughter Annie Braxton, & she begs
me to say that the name was prompted by
a feeling of gratitude for the many happy
hours my idolized Brother spent in your own
dear house : Ma sends most heartfelt love &
says she loves you more & more, each time
she thinks of you : I waft you a good night
kiss, would that I could throw my arms
around you, & give it to you with my lips :
dearest, sweetest Bettie; my own Sister, do
write very soon to
Your Pet
