Adds that she is still sick, and so is another family member (perhaps a son). Mentions Mrs. Knox's illness of the previous spring, and how it upset her to hear about it, emphasizing her feelings of friendship with Mrs. Knox. Provides an update on several of their friends and acquaintances, including the unfortunate story of a friend named Gertrude who recently gave birth to a stillborn child. A short note at the bottom from Mrs. Ogden's husband, Samuel, to Mrs. Knox, sends his love to Mrs. Knox, her husband Henry Knox, and their children. |
