7life be nestling in your mother arms. Send me just a post card soon to

16^Yesterday was my little baby’s birth day, & to-day she died 13 years
17ago. Does it seem strange to you that I seem to possess her still? But
18we women have that nine long months of absolute possession of which no
19man knows any thing. ^
