By the 11th two were gone; by the 28th a third had followed, and the two others were still in danger. In the letters of a former nurserymaid I give her name, Jean Mitchell, honoris causa we are enabled to feel, even at this distance of time, some of the bitterness of that month of bereavement. 'I have this day received, she writes to Miss Janet, 'the melancholy news of my dear babys' deaths.
"We sailors know 'em for rascals from stem to starn, but somehow every fresh one fleeces us jest as his mate did afore him. We don't larn nothin' by exper'ence; we're jest no better than a lot of babys with no brains. "'Good mornin', my man, sez the chap, as iley as you please. "'Mornin', sir, sez I. "'Lookin' for a job? sez he.
"Do!" sez I, all wrought up, "Do without 'em if that is the case, though I don't believe it; but if it is so it's high time we begun fresh, educate and bring up men babys in the right way, and begin agin; start a new world with 'em, jest as you'd start a new kind of gooseberry or anything. But I don't believe a word on't, not a word.
I know that no little maids could ever have lived without dolls, not even the serious-minded daughters of the Pilgrims; but the only dolls that were advertised in colonial newspapers were the "London drest babys" of milliners and mantua-makers, that were sent over to serve as fashion plates for modish New England dames.
And she sez, "It is in the Babys' Buildin'. I have got a check for her one for her, and one for my umbrell." And she showed 'em to me. "Wall," sez I, "that is a good, noble idee to rest mothers' tired arms; but it must make you feel queer." And she said, as she put the checks back into her portmoney, "That it did make her feel queer as a dog."
I wiped my eyes off, and told her I didn't believe she could get 'em done in that length of time, but I would tell the President about it, and "I thought more'n as likely as not he would want to do right by her." And says I, "If he sets out to, he can haul them babys of yourn out of that Ring pretty sudden."
My heart is like to break for my dear Mrs. Stevenson. O may she be supported on this trying occasion! I hope her other three babys will be spared to her. O, Miss Smith, did I think when I parted from my sweet babys that I never was to see them more? 'I received, she begins her next, 'the mournful news of my dear Jessie's death.

O my dear babys, were mortal eyes permitted to see them in heaven, we would not repine nor grieve for their loss.
