The letter excerpt:

January 27.
... My little May has such a cold, which lessens her usual smiles. She is a fine strong child, more like what Victoria was, but marked eyebrows, with the fair hair and such speaking eyes. She and Aliky are a pretty contrast!


Above: Alice.


Above: Alix.


Above: May.
