8 mo 8th 1879
My dear little daughter -
Papa thinks very often of thee and would like to see thee very much - Mama told me in a letter she wrote that thee foes in bathing every day- Isnt it fun? When I was a little boy I used to go in bathing with my papa and thought it was great fun - I used to climb up on his shoulder and hold on to his head and then the waves would not wash over me much- I wish I was at Newport and then thee could go in with me and climb up on my shoulder- I send thee some flowers that I picked out of thy garden this morning - I am afraid they will not look very nice when they get to thee, but maybe the sea air will freshen them up. Give my love to Aunt Anna and Aunt Carrie and tell them I would like to
