Dec 28th 1906&#13;
Dear Henry and Bella,&#13;
I am not &#13;
sure when the Stmrs leave&#13;
but will write this morning&#13;
and it will be in time for&#13;
some outgoing one. The&#13;
Christmas festivities are past&#13;
now and soon the New Year&#13;
will be ushered in. It will&#13;
not be long now until Will&#13;
is back in Canton, the weeks&#13;
slip by so quickly, We are&#13;
Expecting them here after&#13;
New Years. They cannot give&#13;
us much time on their &#13;
way, will be here one&#13;
Sabbath. I presume William&#13;
has written before this about&#13;
the wedding but he would&#13;
not tell you for he could&#13;
not how nice they both&#13;
looked, and what a pretty &#13;
wedding it was. I arrived&#13;
in Auburn the Eve before&#13;
&#13;
the wedding, was Enter-&#13;
tained at Dr RoE's home. &#13;
He as you probably know is&#13;
Mrs Stevensons [--siste--] brother.&#13;
They are very fine people.&#13;
Dr Roe was at the Gen Assembly&#13;
at Winona and met you&#13;
there. I went over after break-&#13;
fast the next morning to&#13;
Mrs Stevensons and had my&#13;
first glimpse of Mary. She&#13;
was busy unwrapping wed-&#13;
ding gifts that had come in&#13;
and arranging them. I gave &#13;
a little assistance in decora-&#13;
ting the house, the flowers&#13;
were very pretty, beautiful &#13;
chrysanthemums, carnations&#13;
and smilax. The smilax was&#13;
twined about the chandeliers.&#13;
I met all Marys family,&#13;
Her father looks very &#13;
delicate, I did not stay&#13;
very long, went back to &#13;
Dr Roes for lunch then&#13;
&#13;
after we lunch we arrayed our-&#13;
selves for the wedding.&#13;
Although the hour was three&#13;
oclock It was dark Enough&#13;
to have the chapel lighted,&#13;
the chapel was beautifully&#13;
decorated with palms and &#13;
cut flowers, and the chandeliers&#13;
cast a soft mellow light&#13;
over all, the Effect was quite&#13;
beautiful At the strains &#13;
of the wedding march they&#13;
come in first the ushers&#13;
then the flower girls, and&#13;
then the bride and groom.&#13;
The ceremony was very&#13;
impressive. Everything &#13;
about the wedding was&#13;
[u]just right[/u]. It seemed&#13;
very nice that her father&#13;
could marry them. Mary's &#13;
friends seem very fond of&#13;
her, I think she will make&#13;
a good missionary, her&#13;
&#13;
heart is in the work. She &#13;
comes from a missionary&#13;
family. After the guests &#13;
had all left we had a quiet&#13;
lunch together, just the family,&#13;
we looked again at the wedding&#13;
presents they were beautiful.&#13;
I suppose now they are busy&#13;
packing them, hope they &#13;
will get through all right.&#13;
I am glad to know Williams&#13;
new circle of relatives.&#13;
I left Auburn the morning&#13;
after the wedding and went&#13;
to Mexico, I found Cousin&#13;
George looking somewhat&#13;
older but not changes as&#13;
much as one would Expect.&#13;
He is not grey at all, Cousin&#13;
Cordelia is more changed of&#13;
the two. He is Engaged now&#13;
in the real Estate business,&#13;
He has catalogues, with a &#13;
descriptive list of the forms&#13;
and buildings given. With &#13;
the price given, these&#13;
catalogues are sent out widely&#13;
&#13;
[?2?]&#13;
The parties wishing to buy&#13;
a farm select from the &#13;
description given and &#13;
go to see the farm, Cousin&#13;
George meets them and &#13;
looks over the ground&#13;
with them. If any one&#13;
in his territory wish to&#13;
make a sale they send&#13;
their descriptions to him&#13;
to have it listed in his&#13;
catalogue. Cousin Charlie&#13;
is still in Washington, I had&#13;
a very pleasant visit there.&#13;
I next went to Rochester&#13;
and made a visit of a few&#13;
days with Dr [?Westervelt?]&#13;
and Adelia. I heard some &#13;
fine music while there.&#13;
The last Evening [--was--] the &#13;
oratorio of the Messiah&#13;
was given which I much &#13;
Enjoyed, Dr [?Westervelt?] is&#13;
doing a good work in that&#13;
&#13;
Rochester school for the&#13;
Deaf. I came from Rochester&#13;
on to Cleveland and staid&#13;
one night at Mr Sheeleys&#13;
They are pleasantly located&#13;
in Cleveland. I think Mr&#13;
Sheeley Enjoys his life&#13;
there he is connected with &#13;
the ministers club there&#13;
which meets Every two wks&#13;
and he Enjoys that. He and&#13;
his wife are here for a &#13;
few days visit. We are&#13;
having real winter weather&#13;
snow on the ground and &#13;
fairly good sleighing.&#13;
We had the orthodox&#13;
Christmas tree at the&#13;
church this year for the&#13;
children. I received a &#13;
pretty pin from my S.&#13;
School class which I &#13;
appreciated very much-&#13;
&#13;
I have a nice class of&#13;
boys and Enjoy being&#13;
their teacher. Hattie is &#13;
now back in Canton I &#13;
suppose and has dropped &#13;
back into her place so that&#13;
it hardly seems to her no&#13;
doubt that she has been&#13;
away. Now we shall be&#13;
looking for you next in&#13;
the "home on the hill." &#13;
It will not be cold when&#13;
you cross the country so&#13;
that you will not be&#13;
snow bound as Hattie &#13;
was. I am not a great&#13;
friend of the snow.&#13;
Emily has written so I &#13;
suppose she has given&#13;
the home news. The &#13;
days go by one after&#13;
another in much the&#13;
&#13;
same line. I am going&#13;
down street as soon as&#13;
I finish this letter.&#13;
I was not gone from[--e--]&#13;
home long but it seemed&#13;
some time for I went to&#13;
so many places and saw&#13;
so many things. I found&#13;
after I came home that&#13;
Mr Flickinger had been&#13;
"called home," he had&#13;
been ill so long that&#13;
his death was not unEx&#13;
pected, he was a warm &#13;
friend of Every ones and&#13;
the community will&#13;
miss him.&#13;
Now I must say&#13;
Good Bye and go to&#13;
town, With love for both&#13;
Your aff sister Mary,&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
塞维利亚&#13;
1906 年 12 月 28 日&#13;
亲爱的亨利和贝拉，&#13;
我不是&#13;
确定蒸笼什么时候离开&#13;
但今天早上会写&#13;
它会及时&#13;
一些外向的。这&#13;
圣诞节庆祝活动过去了&#13;
现在和很快的新年&#13;
将迎来。它将&#13;
不久之后，威尔&#13;
回到广州，几周&#13;
这么快就溜走了，我们是&#13;
期待他们之后&#13;
新年。他们不能给&#13;
我们有很多时间在他们&#13;
方式，将在这里一个&#13;
安息日。我猜威廉&#13;
之前写过关于&#13;
婚礼，但他会&#13;
不告诉你他可以&#13;
不是他们俩有多好&#13;
看起来，多么​​漂亮&#13;
婚礼。我到了&#13;
在前夜奥本&#13;
&#13;
婚礼在RoE博士的家中举行。&#13;
你可能知道他是&#13;
史蒂文森夫人的弟弟。&#13;
他们是非常优秀的人。&#13;
罗博士出席了大会&#13;
在薇诺娜遇见你&#13;
那里。第二天早上吃完早餐我就过去了&#13;
史蒂文森夫人和我的&#13;
第一眼看到玛丽。她&#13;
正忙着拆开进来的结婚礼物&#13;
并安排他们。我给了&#13;
装修房子，花的一点帮助&#13;
非常漂亮，漂亮&#13;
菊花、康乃馨&#13;
和菝葜。菝葜是&#13;
缠绕在枝形吊灯上。&#13;
我遇到了玛丽的所有家人，&#13;
她父亲长得很&#13;
精致，我没有留下&#13;
很长，回到&#13;
然后Roes博士吃午饭&#13;
&#13;
午饭后，我们为婚礼准备好了。&#13;
虽然时间是三点&#13;
o'clock 天黑了&#13;
点亮教堂，&#13;
教堂很漂亮&#13;
用棕榈树和&#13;
切花和吊灯&#13;
投下柔和柔和的光芒&#13;
总体来说效果还不错&#13;
美丽的&#13;
他们在婚礼进行曲中&#13;
先来引座员&#13;
然后是花童，还有&#13;
然后是新娘和新郎。&#13;
仪式非常&#13;
感人的。一切&#13;
关于婚礼是&#13;
正好。看起来&#13;
非常好，她的父亲&#13;
可以嫁给他们。玛丽的&#13;
朋友们似乎很喜欢&#13;
她，我想她会&#13;
一个好的传教士，她&#13;
&#13;
心在工作。她&#13;
来自传教士&#13;
家庭。客人之后&#13;
一切都离开了，我们有一个安静&#13;
一起吃午饭，只是一家人，&#13;
我们又看了一遍婚礼&#13;
礼物很漂亮。&#13;
我想现在他们很忙&#13;
打包，希望他们&#13;
会顺利通过的。&#13;
我很高兴认识威廉姆斯&#13;
新的亲戚圈。&#13;
我早上离开奥本&#13;
婚礼结束后就去了&#13;
去墨西哥，我找到了表哥&#13;
乔治看起来有点&#13;
较旧但没有变化&#13;
正如人们所期望的那样。&#13;
他一点也不灰，表弟&#13;
Cordelia 更变了&#13;
他们俩。他现在订婚了&#13;
在房地产业务中，&#13;
他有目录，有&#13;
表格的描述性列表&#13;
和给定的建筑物。和&#13;
给出的价格，这些&#13;
目录被广泛发送&#13;
&#13;
2&#13;
有意购买的当事人&#13;
农场选择&#13;
给出的描述和&#13;
去农场看看，表弟&#13;
乔治遇见了他们&#13;
俯视地面&#13;
跟他们。如果有任何一个&#13;
在他的领土上希望&#13;
进行销售，他们发送&#13;
他们对他的描述&#13;
把它列在他的&#13;
目录。查理表弟&#13;
还在华盛顿，我有&#13;
一次非常愉快的访问。&#13;
接下来我去了罗切斯特&#13;
并拜访了几位&#13;
与 Westervelt 医生相处的日子&#13;
和阿德利亚。我听到了一些&#13;
那里有美妙的音乐。&#13;
最后一个晚上&#13;
弥赛亚的清唱剧&#13;
给了我很多&#13;
很高兴，Westervelt 博士是&#13;
在这方面做得很好&#13;
&#13;
罗切斯特学校&#13;
聋。我来自罗切斯特&#13;
前往克利夫兰并保持冷静&#13;
在Sheeleys先生住了一晚&#13;
它们位置宜人&#13;
在克利夫兰。我认为先生&#13;
Sheeley 享受他的生活&#13;
他与那里有联系&#13;
那里的部长俱乐部&#13;
每两周满足一次&#13;
他很喜欢。他和&#13;
他的妻子来这里&#13;
几天参观。我们是&#13;
有真正的冬季天气&#13;
地上的雪和&#13;
相当不错的雪橇。&#13;
我们有正统的&#13;
圣诞树在&#13;
今年教会为&#13;
孩子们。我收到了一个&#13;
我星期天的漂亮别针&#13;
我所在的学校班级&#13;
非常感谢-&#13;
&#13;
我有一个很好的班级&#13;
男孩和享受&#13;
他们的老师。海蒂是&#13;
现在回到第一州&#13;
假设并且已经下降&#13;
回到她的位置，这样&#13;
在她看来几乎没有&#13;
怀疑她一直&#13;
离开。现在我们将&#13;
下一个找你&#13;
“山上的家”。&#13;
什么时候不冷&#13;
你越过这个国家&#13;
你不会&#13;
雪地 饰演 Hattie&#13;
曾是。我不是一个伟大的&#13;
雪的朋友。&#13;
艾米丽写了，所以我&#13;
假设她给了&#13;
家庭新闻。这&#13;
日子一天天过去&#13;
另一个在很多&#13;
&#13;
同一行。我要去&#13;
尽快下街&#13;
我写完这封信。&#13;
我没有离开&#13;
回家很久，但似乎&#13;
有一段时间我去了&#13;
这么多地方，看到&#13;
这么多的事情。我发现&#13;
我回家后&#13;
弗利金格先生&#13;
“叫家”，他有&#13;
病了这么久&#13;
他的死并非意外，他是一个温暖的人&#13;
每个人的朋友和&#13;
社区将&#13;
想他。&#13;
现在我必须说&#13;
再见，去&#13;
小镇，对两者都有爱&#13;
你的妹妹玛丽，</text>
