Cursive letter, 'Friday' — continuation: Hudson, Petersburg, Raymond, Minnie, Louisa; signed 'Mary'

Second sheet of the letter begun on page 369, in the same blue-ink cursive in Mary H. FitzSimons’s hand and addressed to her sister-in-law Amy FitzSimons (Mrs. James Pickens Walker). Mary picks up the Bo-in-the-crib anecdote, then reports that “He” — her son Sam III — had had a job offer at Palatka but after investigating decided to stay where he was (Pine Bluff, Ark., per p. 367); next she and her household leave Sat. week for a week in Petersburg, Va., which she rather dreads, plans to rest at home a second week; mentions Raymond returning to work Tuesday; reports she has missed news of Minnie since Amy’s note before Amy left, and wonders whether Minnie has any prospects for her house (Minnie having spoken of going to Orlando); regrets they will miss Louisa in Virginia; closes “Love to you — wish we could stop by this year & see you — / Mary.” “Mon.” → “Tues.” in the Raymond sentence (the cursive is clearly Tues.); “wandering” in the Minnie passage corrected to “wondering” (cursive wondering with intervening “ondering” loops); “He” subject of the Palatka / Hudson passage anchored to Sam III (the “him” of page 369); “Hudson” retained as a personal name where it functions as one in the sentence (likely Hudson Walker / a known family or business contact — not resolvable from this leaf alone); cleaned previously noted “Raymond & Lucie” hallucination (“Lucie” is not present — the cursive reads “Tues.”); confirmed signature “Mary.”
