Carina Mia,
I am so glad you are back when did you come, last night? And if you did, did you bring a N. Y. newspaper of yesterday, and will you let me have it.
How sweet & good you are to have troubled yourself about my poor friends letters, it will be a Perfect God send to her, & I am a grateful to you as if I was [hungering?] & had five little mouths to feed & only this way of feeding them - with regard to signature, carina, I don't know. Sign it anything you like or the Editor likes, the letters are by Miss E Wood of Rome, a very fine scholar, a good critic, & one who has ways of getting information. Yes, dear, let the check be made to my order at my banker then I shall pay her.
I will see you tomorrow carissima [sic], sometime in the day, & Miss Garland & Emma want to see you before they leave on Wednesday night. Miss Garland is in [?] with the 'out door papers.' I see he is in Boston today, how I should have liked to have heard him.
Will you make a name on Initials, any letters you choose, mine if you like, but you will do what is wisest and best. Mrs. Pell sent me the book like a dear woman-
Bless you dear. Ever am I your loving C.C.
I have been to church this afternoon & had a walk after, if I had only known you were home before, I would have gone to you.
