To Charles L. and Annie M. Webster
10 July 1884 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS: NPV, UCCL 02460)
Elmira, July 10.
Dear Charley ie & Annie—

Your aunt Livy & I congratulate you & rejoice with you. There is nothing so valuable in a home as a baby—& no young home is complete without a baby—a baby & a cat. Some people scorn a cat & think it not an essential; but the Clemens tribe are not of these. I send my little name-sake love & greeting, & all good wishes—& his mother too.
