Astoria June 1st 1864

My dear Mrs Gibbons

I am a little
afraid that you have
gone to some trouble in
sending me word about
your movements, or perhaps
in going out to the [?]
I had no time to
write a line before
we left. You may

have seen in the
paper the reason of
our coming home
My dear Sister Mary
(Mrs Robert Howland)
died yesterday morning,
he was too late.
You will perhaps
have gone to the
front. Miss Thomas
will take my place

and include when
you & Mrs Emerson
and there is hardly
need for more head
& hands.

Please remember me
kindly to Mrs Clark
& Mr Thayter. That
was a pleasant though
a sad two weeks.
I shall often think of
thee. Affectionately
George Anna Woolsey
