Nov. 5-12

On Saturday the 1lth, I had a letter from Ellen Lewis telling me Lizzie Minor Lewis had a daughter born on Thursday, Nov. 2nd. They think of calling her Annie Laurie after sister Mary's dear little lost darling. Lizzie is doing well. A quiet week at home teaching, reading, sewing etc. I'm reading over some of [Sir. Walter] Scott's novels. Write to brother Peter and Lydia.
