The letter excerpt:

Ara slept on my bed last night wh is not large, suddenly I was wakened by a thump and melancholy squeal, and poor beast, I must have poked her down. Up I hawled her and to sleep she went again — as thanks she presented me with a flee and I long to scratch myself. No more on my bed for her. I have bought a basket for her wh is better.
