To Susan and Josephine Sturgis
Ávila, Spain. [1868]
Dear Susan I have received your letter written in London. What your aunt and uncle said, that I am good-looking, that isn’t true. Papa says that I should write to you that you are good-looking and Josephine too; but I say that that’s teasing, but what is true is that your brother and godson loves you very much
