<p>mistakes &amp; I am in hopes has been
<lb/> able to rectify it. Nothing has been
<lb/> said of this to Cousin Maria as she
<lb/> would be so fussed. I think she is
<lb/> rather overwhelmed &amp; agitated &amp; sad
<lb/> at being unable to get quiet &amp; full
<lb/> <unclear>talking</unclear> with May over arrangements
<lb/> etc. Poor little cousin Maria I feel it
<lb/> is all rather hard on her, she is so
<lb/><unclear>affect</unclear>  &amp; dear to me. I hope I may be
<lb/> able to be a help &amp; not a hindrance
<lb/> in the house. They asked my views
<lb/> as to the necessity of having a wedding
<lb/> cake &amp; as they would not in any

<lb/> me to stay on till Sat? I saw Aunt
<lb/> S. for a moment only looking rather
<lb/> wretched I thought, but quite like
<lb/> herself in affectionatism. She would
<lb/> much like to come to us this next
<lb/> week, I <del>hoped</del>I has better perhaps

<lb/> week after, Monday or Tuesday. My
<lb/> only doubt is the <unclear>turkey</unclear>! but after
<lb/> a pair of chickens would be very
<lb/> nice for her if turkey is not available.
<lb/> I have been wonderfully better, my
