Lucy is preparing a box to send to Jane in Persia -- dresses for herself & little Charlie. They are also sending a book with 50 photographs mostly Marietta friends, this is from Rufus’ wife -- I tried to get my photograph for it but did not succeed. I sent an ambrotype instead. Mary Nye has called two or three times. She is sending a package to Charlie. Mrs. Dawes got her photograph, I think it is good. William was here to dinner, he has just received a dispatch from Dr. Fulton saying that his wife Louisa (Cutler) Fulton is dead. I am very sorry to hear this, She was a lovely woman, far too good for him.
Mr. Wilson is here from New York & William came to meet hin,
I went shopping with Lucy. Mrs. Dawes & I took tea with Mrs. Gates. Mr. And Mrs. Bosworth were there. Called with Mrs. Dawes in the evening on Mrs. F. Dodge, found her suffering from a sore eye. Mrs. W. Andrews called.
