[X018C8A], Letter from Louise Igoe (Mrs Robert A.) Miller to Mina Miller (Mrs Thomas A.) Edison, February 8th, 1886
Editor's Notes
Summary 1. Glad you are so happy; you're "a girl born to luck" with a loving family, excellent prospective husband, and a beautiful house awaiting you; the hardest thing is leaving the girlhood home; but perhaps we should think of it as adding another loved spot; if nothing prevents me I will be at the wedding; wish you and Jane could be in Cincinnati with me on the 17th; a good many folks from here would like to go [to Philipe's wedding?] but would have to leave a 4 a.m.; wish you could be here; TAE should come and take notes; too bad about the household goods not reaching Florida in safety; you will always be among my dearest friends; glad TAE thinks of me kindly; "he is a splendid man." Summary 2. Written shortly before Mina's marriage to TAE (Feb 24), Louise's letter is in the nature of a pep talk. Is glad to know that she is so happy. Mina is certainly a lucky girl. Characterizes TAE as an "excellent husband prospective." Lily Fox told her that she thought & talked of nothing else. Mentions reaction of brother Stanley. Wishes Mina and Janie could be with her on the 17th. Mary, Daisy, Mrs. Holstrem are talking of coming. Comments on the impending marriage of her brother Philip. Too bad about the household goods not reaching Florida in safety. Mentions Auntie Clark who went out riding with Mary Elder. Aunt Rachel sends her love and warmest congratulations. Is glad TAE regards her kindly. He is a splendid man.
