- Editor's Notes
- 15-8070. My dear Mina and Mr. Edison Received a letter from you yesterday and it seemed to conatin a line or more to Jennie and myself so I will just say in the beginning of my few lines to you today that I admire your arrangementes and think all will be right if the dear little boys stay in perfect submission to the [fear?] it must be quite a ask for them to give up a thing they have enjoyed so long and [played? Fixed? Flyed?] so nicely with it as they were in there rome. I think they will soon feel all right up there and will be perfectly contented if they can have [Lems? Gems?] with them and when the dear little expected one comes and they get to liking it they will [say? Do?] and know what it all is for. They will be happy I do hope love and joy may always fill your home, every room may have so much love in it that the little boys and dot with every one else may feel just as well in one and in another. There is so many little ways and thinges in a house that it will seem like home is every where. You may go in it [eas?] and freedome makes a happy home other wordes contentment and love are the foundations of a happy home. We will start the little article you have mentioned in the letter to us in the morning so you can send it to a shop and have it fixed just as it should be. We would do it hear but we think it would be better to send it as it is and have it fixed there. I wish I knew just how you felt about it. Sometimes I think we had better have it fixed hear. I do wish I new which way would be the best. I believe we will have it fixed hear for it will be a task for you to see to it. I will see what the rest say about it. I hope you will be carful and not get sick and spoil every thing. Now is the time for you to be careful. I hope these few lines will find you and all well and happy. We are all well and were all at Sunday School and church as usual but it is a very chilly and dark day. I might say it is a cold day but we can be contented with it as the time is so near for us to have warm and plesent weather,. We had little Margret over hear a little while yesterday by herself. Her mama is not well and has not ben for nearly a week, but she is better now. Dear little margret was as good as she could be but her dear little face is or lookes so bad. I do hope your dear little one will not have any such trubles but all say as sound. She has her [teeth?]. Her face will be all right. I do hope so. Well I just spoke to pa about that little Bureau. He thinks it best to have it fixed hear so we will not start it to you for a[hilling?] but will by and have it indear time. I think it will be a very handy little piece of furniture and I hope you will take it when you get it. I am so glad Mr. Edison is helping you so much. That is the way to as [help?] himself Next Sunday at this time we will be talking with Robbie and [Mamies?] as we expect to have them since I am only going to to [Mamies?] today. I wish you and your dear husband and famaly could be with us to but sometimewe will all meet. All is right so it is now, so we will wait until the time comes and then we will have a right joly time, Well I will close for this time hoping to hear some from you. With love to you and Mr. Edison and the little boys and [dot?]. I will say good by from Mother.
