4 June '55
My dear Crom / I am rejoiced to hear / that you enjoyed your short / visit so much, and to prove / you did so in reality it must / not be long before you again / pay me another. / I do not like the idea / at all of your "preaching with / your head downwards" in the / first place it is not natural, / in the second. highly dangerous / and your not recovering from / the effects of giddiness for four / hours afterwards is proof that / it is so - / And so you longed for / toothache. I never heard but of / one person who did so before - and / that was owing to his being / toothless and regretting not / having any to ache but if you / once knew what the agony was / I do not think you would wish / for it a second time - / My dear Edward seems very / desirous that I should make a / "pet" of you and to tell you the / truth I do not think I should / I miss you both, often you were / gone I went into your room / and it looked so desolate I could / almost have shed tears, however / I am now looking forward to / our next happy meeting, till then / Believe me dear Crom / your affectionate Auntie / Keturah Catherwood - / Monday June 4th. 1855 / 1 North Addington Place / Camberwell -
