Identifier: CBAY II-2-n

Scope and Contents

Tiers received Bayley's letter yesterday. Every week Uncle Ned would say he would write to Bayley. They are on Fleming Island. Mrs. Fleming was Margaret Seton, daughter of Charles Seton . They had the good fortune to come first and had the choice of rooms. Addy's and Emma's rooms are both good size. They have nothing to wish for but a church. Ned has a nice little boat and Charlie has been quite industries since they came, all kinds of carpentary work, etc.. Emma is only so so. Addy was taken with a broken bone fever and suffered terribly for 13 days, but is now getting over it. Annie had a touch of it for a day or two. They went to St. Augustine last Saturday and remained till Thursday. Were it not for the church, it would be unsupportable. They heard a sermon from Father Edmund Aubril Aubriel. Father Benedict Madeore Maddior of the French Church, Canal Street, is there. They made them two visits and they took them to see the chapel over Father Felix Varela Varella's tomb. They expect to go again Christmas and anticipate seeing the Redemptorist Fathers at that time. Mother keeps about the same. They will be back May 1st. :: II-2-n A.L. 4pp. 16mo.
