Of course my own clothes are still as good as new, so the only expense will be the doctor and the nurse and the extra things I shall be obliged to have to eat when I am sick. Give dear father a dozen kisses from me, and tell him to hurry and get well so he can christen his granddaughter. Your devoted and ever grateful VIRGINIA. MATOACA CITY. August 11, 1885.
He is working very hard at the office now, and he hates it. Your loving VIRGINIA. I forgot to tell you that Mrs. Midden has found me such a nice servant. She is a very young coloured girl, but looks so kind and capable, and says she is perfectly devoted to children. Her name is Marthy, and I feel that she's going to be a great comfort to me.

DEAREST MOTHER: My last letter was written an age ago, but I have been so busy since Marthy left that I've hardly had a moment in which to draw breath.

Her first impression was that he had grown handsomer than she had ever believed possible; and the next minute she asked herself how in the world he had managed to exercise his vitality in Matoaca City.

"The last time I went to see Miss Matoaca Chambers in the Old Ladies' Home, she told me she made quite a nice little sum for her church by crocheting mats."
