welcome gift. You know my awkwardness in matters of food and you are always so
kind and generous in your indulgence of them. The granse [sic] came
safely, and ought to have been at once acknowledged but I insisted on writing
with my own hand--you know a man will always have his own way--women never
do!--but I can't write after the bright daylight has gone. I both thank you most
cordially and we look longingly for your soon coming. Charlottes sends her love
and so do I. Ever truly yours" Justin McCarthy (1830-1912), an
