My dear Abby:-I want to thank you so much for the book-rack; it is a beauty and I am delighted with it.
Because of business Mr. Beal cant [sic] get away until the last of this week; Albert can stay only until Thursday and so we shall be married Wed. Apr. 12, as we at first planned. I shall certainly call you up while we are in Boston and if possible try and call.
We still have considerable snow and yesterday had a snow storm. Wish you might be here to go on the crust to the sap orchard with us.
Thanking you again for your kind wishes and the boock-rack [sic] I am,
Lovingly your cousin,
Louise W. AtwoodPhillips, Maine
