[u]Dear ones at home [/u]
We sail to morrow morning.
I fear that I may be busy & not
have time to write in the morning
and so will write a very few
lines to night if it is late.
We [--are--] have been getting
along very well visiting while
waiting here, have passed the
time quite pleasantly & were
just about through when word
came for us to leave. We often
think of you all at home
(both families) & try to remember
you at the throne of grace as
we hope to be remembered by you.
Cyrus & May will tell you
all about our getting started &
so it will not be so necessary

for me to write. I found Hattie's
few lines in "[u] our box [/u]" to night
& thank her for them "[u] ever so much [/u]"
"Our Colors" also made their ap-
pearance at the same time.
For fear I shouldn't get
time in the morning I will
say to you all [u]good bye[/u]. Cynthia
has retired but wished me to send
love & bid [u] good [/u] [u] bye [/u] for her.
You must'nt be anxious
if you don't hear from us as
soon as you expect as you
know delays so often occur with
sail vessels. Everything seems to
promise a pleasant voyage.
Remember me kindly to all
the good people of Seville.
[u]Good bye /u], a parting kiss
for [u] all [/u] from
Your own [u] loving [/u]
Henry
[Note: written in pencil] We have just the
pleasant

亲爱的在家
我们航行到明天早上。
我担心我可能很忙而不是
早上有时间写
所以会写很少的
今晚如果晚了就排队。
我们一直在
沿着很好的参观
在这里等待，已通过
时间很愉快
就当字
来接我们离开。我们经常
在家里想你们
（两个家庭）并试着记住
你在施恩宝座上
我们希望被您记住。
赛勒斯和梅会告诉你
所有关于我们的入门和
所以没有必要

给我写。我找到了海蒂的
几行“我们的盒子”到晚上
并感谢她“非常感谢”
《我们的颜色》也同时亮相。
因为害怕我不应该得到
早上的时间我会
跟大家说再见。辛西娅
已退休，但希望我发送
爱她并告别她。
你不必着急
如果您没有收到我们的来信
正如你所期望的那样
知道延误经常发生
帆船。一切似乎
承诺愉快的航行。
请记住我对所有人
塞维利亚的好人。
再见，离别之吻
为所有人
自己的爱
亨利
