20 Tracy Park; Aug 21 87

Dear Tanie;
        Your long expected letter came yesterday; I feel awfully sorry
for you, I will admit that.  But I shall be home very soon now.  Clara
and I are coming down together on the Erie, leaving here about ten
A.M. Wednesday morning, Aug. 24.  Clara read me Ella's note, and she
said in it that I was to come home either Tuesday or Wednesday.  As I
heard nothing from you, I didn't suppose you would expect me.  If I
had heard from you sooner, I should probably have been home before.
However, I shall soon be there.  I must tell you now that I can't get
all the things we were going to; I tell you so you'll have a chance to
get mad, and get over it.  If you are so provoked because I didn't
come sooner, that you will act as if you weren't glad to see me, I
shall turn you out of the house.  I'm deeply grateful to both you and
Mame [?] Sawyer.  Tell Ella I'm thinking about her letter, and that I
have not yet "decided."  Clara is delighted with Ella's invitation; it
will be very pleasant going down together.  Yesterday May & I with
some others, were at Mrs. Stevens's to tea.  In the afternoon a crowd
of us went to Barnum's, and in the A.M. we drove around with Maria
[?] [unclear] to see the procession.  I came to Mayo [?] yesterday
noon.  With love to everybody.  Yours, L.K.A.  It's too late for the
doll, as I have the bib [?].  If Ed were here he'd get it.  I'm sorry.

[The last two sentences are written partially in the right margin of
the page as Libby apparently ran out of space.]

[Enclosed in the same envelope.  It is not clear why; it is written
on a different size and stock of paper and is addressed from Tanie to
her father.  Perhaps Tanie placed this note in the envelope she
received from Lizzie?]

         Thursday morning

Dear Papa;
       I shall have to write to you with a bad pencil because Lizzie
is writing to Mamie with the pen.
   Lizzie and I have been over to Miss Otis's this morning playing
tennis; we had lots of fun.
   Yesterday we had the most delightful row down the river; there were
ten in the party and we had three boats.  We started from the lower
landing about four and got back at eight; we were toed [?] back by one
of the steamers and we did have such a jolly time.
   Then we came up to Mrs. Otis's and we all had supper.  after that
we sung and told stories.
   Ed and I are coming home Saturday night on the Erie which leaves
here at seven and reaches Waverly at half past ten.
   As long as Ed is coming down with me I shall come directly home.  I
should like to go to Grandma's and Aunt Lou's, but I would rather Ed
would come home with me.
   Well I must stop and write some to Mamie.
   With love to all your loving daughter Tanie.
P.S. Please tell Ella I received the package she sent, and was very
much obliged.
