Fort Simpson B.C. May 14th 1880 My dear Mother, I can just scribble a line as I lie in bed to tell you that another sweet little daughter was born to us two days ago, on the 12th. Not a very large baby but very strong & well. Thomas had just reached home the afternoon of the 11th with Jessie, after a most prosperous four weeks visit away. Jessie had had a delightful time and seems improved in every way. I have done remarkably well - was sick only about two hours and am feeling quite strong. I am very sorry to hear of your being so feeble but I do hope you may get some relief. We have received Papa's letter. With love to all dear Mother from, Your daughter, Emma
