In your next I expect a whole budget of news, some foreign but principally domestic and pray tell Mr McLean when he returns that his letter was safely delivered and at the same time give him my kind regards. Receive my kindest love both for yourself and dear Mamma and fail not to remember me kindly to your Papa. The study with all its kind & dear faces I often have before me. Believe me to remain Your affectionate E Shand P.S. In return for your kiss the children send you one apeice not a bad exchange, six for one, and still I don't know. One apiece amounts to six & as I performed that number of kisses for you you gain none by the return.
