more for their weakness - yet.

    Little Helen I suppose increases

as the "Pet" - as neither "Dick" nor "Al"

are at home, to rob her of Kisses that

she now gets - to say nothing of caresses

and pet names - but I have had a kiss

even here from Mr Dells eldest daughter

and Mrs Dell could hardly refrain

but he was there!! I dont know which

is my adopted mother Mrs Frary or Mrs

Dell both are so kind to me and with

both I am at home -

   ------------------------------------

   "How happy could I be with either

    were t'other dear charmer away"

  -------------------------------------

but I know one who really Loves me

her name is most sacred to me

with no possibility of the severance

of the tie that binds us - nor the

faintest shadow of parting I remain

affectionately and lovingly

hers for ever
