IpALIA, July 6, 49,.
Dearest Belle received your letter only las
night. and hasten to answer it, for know how
provoking it is to be waiting for worsteds to bf
matched, and hope this will suit you.
How sudden the death OF Mr., Huntlsy was
And how nice it will be for Marion to have for
tune, for, although they lived nicely, it never
seemed to me that they were particularly well
of. She left here very suddenly. When the tele-
gram came for her it was only fifteen minutes
before the train started for the West, and you
can imagine the hustle that followed, one girl
cramming her valise with all the essentials we
could think of another buttening her shoes, and
the elegant MIR. Stuyvesant 40 excited by ali this
as actually to run to the stables to order the
carriage.
The Adonis is quite IS inconsoable as Ia allow
able in polite young gentleman. II somebody
doesn't have an invitation TO take possession of
the stuyvesant mansion after the proper time for
mourning has expired, then lose my guess Mr..
Stuyvesant wouldn't for the world violate any of
the propreties Of life, but he couldn't by any
possibility make allowances for anything beyond
them.
/ wonder whether Marion will take him, 7
used to think that Fred White was pretty fond oil
her. and she of him but Fred's off In Texas, and
girl cans be expected to stand that kind OF
thing forever. Marrying Mr.. Stuyvesant with
his wealth and position, would be q very different
thing from waiting four or five years for Fred
White to be able TO support her, and running the
gauntlet every day OF her life from Mrs. Hallet
and Sue. feel 90 sorry for Fred. II there was
any one that deserved q good wife it was he, and
to have Marion mislead him in this way would be
cruelty false. Well, l hope she'll think better
OF it.
We're Asther 3 glum party just now besides Mr..
Stuyyesant, for Angie has the neuralgia ana is
horrid cross - when the gentlemen are not
around Frank Hendley is afflicted with great
depression OF Bpirits-pm sure I don't see what's
the matter with him and Frank Seabury always
was little mouse 30 that Mar. Raymond and
have to keep up our spirits for all the rest.
Aud really, Belle, though it's very nice to be
talented, and all that, l begin to think that it's
batter to have two grains of wits down handy,
where you can use it, than to have several
pounds OF the article slowed away somewhere
a. der the rafters.
like man who can talk with me sensibly
sometimes, and who can pay me compliment
occasionally, or tease me q little-I wouldn't
even object to quarreling with him once in q
nave 10 be continually crawling up mental step
ladder to get at him,
l. don't see what Angie would do with him
after she got him; for, although know but pre-
cious little, my stock OF brains is considerably
Larger than hers is She'd have to put him in
the library, labeled, like the specimens no one
knows anything about, ''Vr Americanus,"
species poeticus 1T scientiticus."
But Mamms Putnam wouldn't say anything
expense" would she2
Please give my love to Marion, and tell her we
are very dull without her. hope she will come
back, il only for few days. Tell her Mr., Stny-
vesant is perfectly heart broken And in about a
week more you may think OF me as taking leave
of Idalia and its Inhabitants, and going home.
Yours most truly, KITTY.
