St Joseph, Missouri Nov 9th, 1874 My Dear Daughter, I received your letter of Friday, yesterday morning. your Aunt Rachel received a note last Friday or Saturday. I read it and felt like sending it back to you it was so satisfactory. We had all made up our minds to see you the latter part of this week but suppose that will not be the case as you are not ready to come yet. I thought perhaps you would like to see us by this time. I have engaged a teacher to give Lizzie music lessons, but she does not make much headway as I do not know anything about music and of course cannot be of any use, assistance to her. Just as soon as you can make it convenient would like to have you home. Think you have bothered your friends and relations enough for this time had better come home and pester us home folks. You have stayed away so long that Micky despairs of seeing you any more so crept down in the corner of his cage and died. Fanni was quite sick for a week on the days but finally revived and is still with us. I will not write anymore this morning. Cannot get my thoughts collected sufficiently. Give my love to all the relative and write soon to your Mother. There is so much confusion can hear Mrs. Cunningham and Sarah from the kitchen into my room. Be sure to let me know what train you leave on Morning or evening and which road you are coming by way of handling and St. Jo on the other.Collection
