My dearest Mother I am so glad you and your boy are well. I am not a bit sorry it is a boy. I shall be so glad when I see him. How do you like your nurse. Have you found a name for your table. What a pity poor baby's clothes will not fit him. I send my present to him Nurse made it and she says that if you like it she will make you more if you will send some wool. I have got a room to myself. Give my love to the baby tell him I am longing to see him Miss Klug sends her love to you and to him From your loving child Gertrude.
