All right, you come when your affairs will permit; just choose the time which suits you best,—we are wholly unhampered. I don’t know whether you know those lovely young girls of Perkins’s or not, but we do, & your young charge will find them all she can desire. Lord, we should so delight in having her ourselves if we only dared. But a crying little baby which keeps Mrs. Clemens awake & busy four-fifths of the night——however you don’t know anything about these matters.

Come!—& as quick as you can.
