- 15-8071.My dear Mina and Mr. Edison, This is a beautiful day and we are all well and able to enjoy the bright sunshine fully and in the hopes you are all well and contented and enjoying the aproaching spring or I should say the present spring time and feeling there is a better time a coming yet. Dear Mina I was very much pleased this morning before we had our breakfast to receive two letters, one from dear Mina and dear little Wille. I do think it is also nice in Will to write such a nice letter to me. The card was not just the [time?] I would like but dear Gracey got it for me so I did not say anything about it as it was pretty or at least pretty for older ones. I think a pretty book mark for little boys are rather nicer but I am glad Willie likes it anyway. I receieved one from dot. It was a very pretty Lilley. Robbe and Louies also all were very pretty. I am a going to write to both and thank them for there kind remembrances of poor me. I never will forgive myself for not having that little [Beau?] O I do not know how to spell it but you know what I mean. Pa not getting it fixed before sending it if I did not think they would do it better there then. Dear I would feel very sorry indeed but I live in hopes it is the best as it is so will be contented. Dear Mina I or we have sent your [satodal?] with a smalk [and a cal?] in it hoping it will reach you in dew time and in [say my?] and it will be pleasing to you and when you look at it it will always please and cheer you. It is only a small piece but it takes small thing to make home and this life what it should be, darling. I do hope you will not work so hard as to get tired and sick but take every easy, it will all come right some day. Try and help well are you attending to your breastes so they will be ready for the dear little friend when it comes and will nead to be fead. We have to feed as well as cloth those little darlinges. I neaer not fear but all will be ready but I thought I would just mention this. We read in the paper that Father Edison was quite sick. I hope not dangerous. We would all like to hear how he is as often as we can. Has Mr. Edison gone to see his Father yet. I hope he will go for it will make him feel so much better, in fact, both will feel better if they can see each other especially if Father Edison shall be called away. Please send him my best wishes and respectes. You always give them to your dear Mr. Edison. I always mean him whenI send my love and best wishes to you in my letters. We, that is Maime and Miss [Coustone? Houstone?] were downe to Canton, went Monday evening and come Tuesday evening had a very nice time. All are well but I think Louies [milland?] he very far behind you in having a little one at least they both say so. I should go and take of you them. Come there and take care of Louies. What do you think of that, if I do when will I be at home. Well dear, you will please excuse me from not writing a longer letter this time as [Maime waite me?] I will have to write long letters after she leaves so as to make up the short ones now. I will now say goodby With a grate deal of love and good wishes you and your dear ones I say good by. Ever your loving Mother.
