but- Oh we didn't think it would be the picture of a dead baby. The people here were all good to us- so good- it seems to me I love everybody here, they tried so much to help us. Tell Em we lined the the little white [merino?] dress with that pique she sent. We trimmed with white silk lace and our baby looked very sweet in her last little dress.Oh it was so hard to see her covered up from our sight. But we know that sometime in the blessed hereafter we shall find our little girl again. I don't know how we could ever bear it if it was not for that thought.
