1 Hill Street Upper Bangor North Wales Sept 15th 1858 My dear brother I am here spending my holidays with Flora. Her little pet is very poorly with hooping cough which is a distressing trouble to see a child so young suffering under. She is a pretty darling, large, bright, intelligent blue eyes, sweet fat shossy cheeks. When she goes out to walk with the girl every lady stops to speak to her and asks whose child she is. Rather too young or too soon you will think to attract general admiration. Flora makes a kind loveable affectionate mother but does not spoil her in the least.
