Dear darling Jessie

You don't know how pleased I was to hear the good news from Baltimore. You certainly must have been pleased too when you heard it.
I was delighted to get yours and Nellie's sweet letter the other day. It was the first I got here and I read it over and over again.
I have since received two lovely letters from dear Mamma.Will and I went up to Philadelphia yesterday to the dentists but found him out of town. His coloured maid there said that he had lately married Dr Sillwell the lady dentist across the hall and wasn't coming back until the following Monday. So Will and I then went to Mrs Rembaughs to get somethings for Miss Bertha. Mrs Rembaugh invited us to lunch; so we stayed We left there at about ten minutes to one and went to Wanamakers where we shopped until about four o'clock. Then we took the ferry over to Camden, and there we took the five o'clock train for Lavallette. We had to get up at six o'clock because we had to take the 7.41 train.
Please give my love to Papa and keep lots and lots yourself. I must close now, Ggoodbye

Your loving sister
Margaret.
