Aunt and I laughed heartily at the compliments you so generously showered upon it- Have waited to see Mrs Jones before sending yours hat and bonnet; was afraid the latter would be ruined in sending.

Papa says he has written to the superintendents of both R.R's but has heard from the Northwestern only & when he hears from the other he will forward both letters to you. It seems to me you had better give his address so I can send them directly to him. Oh dear, papa and Aiden are gabbing all the time so I can't think. You ask why I didn't express myself in regard
