Transcribed from a letter in my possession.......written on April 28, 1884 to 
Eugenia Bridges.....

At Home

April 28, 1884

Dear Friend Genia,

Your most welcome letter received a few days since.

How did you enjoy yourself Memorial Day ....hugely I guess. I didn’t get to go 
out Memorial Day. Mama’s little niece was brought down Friday as a corps and 
buried Saturday eve. Mr. Wilson was also buried Saturday Morn. And Mrs. 
Ashcroft is to be

buried today.

I heard that there were fewer flowers Memorial day than ever known before. I 
never saw as bare a flower yard in my life. Nothing would afford me more 
pleasure than to get you some flowers but I would not know where to start to 
get any for every bodies flowers were killed last winter.

Please don’t think that I wouldn’t go to that trouble for it would be not 
trouble on earth for as I said it would be a pleasure for me to get them.

My eyes are a great deal better but I don’t guess will go to school any more 
before commencement - I don’t want to.

They still have to write compositions every Monday.

I hope you will excuse this letter but as I feel so bad I must close. With much 
love to my dear little friend. Write real soon to

Your dear Friend (I hope)

Gussie (?) H.
