Mother says she feels as if he had pasted laughter and good nature on all the walls as he papered them. MOTHER SAYS SHE FEELS AS IF HE HAD PASTED LAUGHTER AND GOOD NATURE ON ALL THE WALLS AS HE PAPERED THEM
the beautiful crimson of the rose against the yellow house that makes people admire it so. If you come to America please don't forget Beulah, because if you once saw mother you could never bear to disturb her, seeing how brave she is, living without father. Admiral Southwick, who is in China, calls us Mother Carey's chickens. They are stormy petrels, and are supposed to go out over the seas and show good birds the way home. We haven't done anything splendid yet, but we mean to when the chance comes. I haven't told anybody that I am writing this, but I wanted you to know everything about us, as you are our landlord. We could be so happy if Cousin Ann wouldn't always say we are spending money on another person's house and such a silly performance never came to any good. I enclose you a little picture cut from the wall paper we want to put on the front hall, hoping you will like it. The old paper is hanging in shreds and some of the plaster is loose, but Mr. Popham will make it all right. RED BECAUSE IT IS THE BEAUTIFUL CRIMSON OF THE ROSE AGAINST THE YELLOW HOUSE THAT MAKES PEOPLE ADMIRE IT SO IF YOU COME TO AMERICA PLEASE DON'T FORGET BEULAH BECAUSE IF YOU ONCE SAW MOTHER YOU COULD NEVER BEAR TO DISTURB HER SEEING HOW BRAVE SHE IS LIVING WITHOUT FATHER ADMIRAL SOUTHWICK WHO IS IN CHINA CALLS US MOTHER CAREY'S CHICKENS THEY ARE STORMY PETRELS AND ARE SUPPOSED TO GO OUT OVER THE SEAS AND SHOW GOOD BIRDS THE WAY HOME WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING SPLENDID YET BUT WE MEAN TO WHEN THE CHANCE COMES I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYBODY THAT I'M WRITING THIS BUT I WANTED YOU TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT US AS YOU ARE OUR LANDLORD WE COULD BE SO HAPPY IF COUSIN ANN WOULDN'T ALWAYS SAY WE ARE SPENDING MONEY ON ANOTHER PERSON'S HOUSE AND SUCH A SILLY PERFORMANCE NEVER CAME TO ANY GOOD I ENCLOSE YOU A LITTLE PICTURE CUT FROM THE WALL PAPER WE WANT TO PUT ON THE FRONT HALL HOPING YOU WILL LIKE IT THE OLD PAPER IS HANGING IN SHREDS AND SOME OF THE PLASTER IS LOOSE BUT MISTER POPHAM WILL MAKE IT ALL RIGHT
