Letter from Sarah Forrer, Dayton, OH to Augusta Bruen, 1862-04-29
Dayton April 29th1862
Dear Augusta
I received this letter from Sallie Thomas and send it now rather than wait till Sunday. I suppose she did not know how to address it to thee, and therefore sent it to us. I have not heard anything from the William's for a long time.
We have not heard from Howard G Affleck since his return home.
There is a paper, or rather pamphlet comes to Luther which I suspect he knows nothing about. I believe too, that I have asked him about it but if I have he has not answered me. It is T "American Law Register" I have this moment received one from the Post Office. What shall I do about it?
Mary says "Has thee anything other than the English Jacket, And what is thee going to wear this summer for, or in place of or *menle*."
Love to the little ones, and all of you. I am in great haste but thought I would just say a word, as I had to remail Sallie's letter. So do not be surprised if I do not write Sunday.
Look hard over some of my letters and answer the questions. I think there are some unanswered.
We are trying to make some fence at the new lot, but all goes on very very slow. I am heart sick sometimes with waiting.
All are well at Lib's I believe now. And at Uncle John's too I think. I was at John's yesterday.
We too had a snow. I do not think it has harmed the fruit and we have a prospect of a good quantity, I hope you will enjoy it with us. Brunoe has both paws on the stand where I am writing, asking for a pat, and a poor fellow, so I cannot write very smoothly.
Ever affectionately thy Mother
