Williamsburg – Nov 4th 1859
Dear Lizzy –
Enclosed
are 15 Dollr- By what you think proper
for Mrs [? ?] of her children. As I wrote
to you a day or two ago, you must not
expect much of a letter now. Write,
& inform me if you get this letter, &
the money in it. If you have
a larger sum than you need, give
the surplus to your mother. It
is [no?] kindness to give her [much?] &
if you have more than 5 Dollr, do not
exceed it. nor even come up to it – As
to your returning, were it not that I think
it right for you to spend some of your time
with your mother, & relatives in York, I [would]
have written for you several weeks ago -
With my kindest remembrances, as well
to your mother, as Aunts, I remain
very affectionately-
B[?]. S. Ewell
M[?] Lizzy, S., Ewell
