My Dear Miss Hattie,
Getting back a day
or two ago from a very
short visit home, I find the
very kind present you sent me
by mail.
A most welcome sight even under
ordinary circumstances and one for
which I send you my sincere
thanks, but I can not tell
you how gratefully I received it.
Coming as I did just from
home, where I bade a sad good
bye to my family - one of whom
at least - in all probability
I shall not see again, I felt
very lonely - cut off from all
I held dear & quite disheartened,
when handed unexpectedly to
me, was your present - the
Bible Tho was another token
of your kind remembrance
[?] to say "find consolation here"
