Transcription

Sunnyside, September 8, 1854 My dear Mother, I stayed in New York about a week and Grandpa came down for me last Thursday, I spent a day over to Mrs. Holdrede's the day before yesterday and had a very pleasant time. The weather is very hot and every thing is drying up in the garden and are hardly any apples. I have not begun my lessons yet because Aunties are very busy man-tua making but I will begin next week. If you see my gold ring anywhere please to take please to take care of it for me Aunty says this is such a short letter I had better write a little more but I do not know what else to tell you. Uncle Washington is going to tomorroro to new Brighton to make a visit to cousin Anna's and will stay till Monday I go up to the gardeners house every day they have two little twins and have another little baby since I was gone. I began my letter last Thursday but it takes me so long to write it I had to write it over twice because I made so many mistakes. Give my love to Willie and Frank and Aunties and Grandma Your affectionate Daughter Kate
