all perfectly well – [?]
there is a good deal of sick
now prevailing. Mother
is at Mrs. Beal's [?] – as
Kenneth is sick. [?] I
heard that he was better last
night. The boys are very
good and send love + kisses
to the dear absent papa.

Hoping very soon to see you

I am Lovingly your wife
Lucy A. Bessey.
