very kind and sympathetic. He told
us not to say anything to Hattie
when we saw her, that [u]he[/u] would
tell her. We have felt very anxious
for some time that this [u]might[/u] be
what was in store for us, but she has
always been so bright and hopeful
and said before she went yesterday
that she had no anxiety about it; she
felt it would be all right. She will

probably be in the hospital two weeks.
[u]We hope[/u] to keep her with [--her--] us for some
time but cannot tell her how long it may
be. We are all so thankful that you
come when you did it was a comfort
to us all. Hattie received your letter
and was pleased to hear from you. Tomorrow
we are going down again. I am glad
that you found your family circle
well. We all send love, and know that
you will think about us which is a comfort
Affly your Aunt Mary.



非常善良和同情。 他说
我们不要对海蒂说什么
当我们看到她时,他会
告诉她。 我们感到非常焦虑
一段时间以来,这可能是
为我们准备了什么,但她有
总是那么光明和充满希望
昨天去之前说
她对此并不担心; 她
觉得会没事的。 她会

大概要住院两周。
我们希望让她和我们在一起一段时间
时间,但不能告诉她可能需要多长时间
是。 我们都非常感谢你
当你这样做的时候来,这是一种安慰
对我们所有人。 海蒂收到你的信
很高兴收到您的来信。 明天
我们又要倒下了。 我很高兴
你找到了你的家庭圈子
出色地。 我们都发送爱,并且知道
你会想到我们这是一种安慰
亲爱的玛丽阿姨。
