Lady in Vicksburg had sensitivity to light but an eye doctor helped her and she can now read and work. The Doctor sees patients from all over the US. Brother Robert to visit if she doesn't go to Virginia over the summer. All is well with Mary. Blair is in good health and was about to start moving cattle from the Colorado River to Matagorda Bay and is expected to be gone 3 months. Hopes Fanny will see Dr. Farrar and has heard from Sister Anne that while he is in Richmond he would try to see Fanny. Won't be home until the last of June unless someone is going to Jackson. Armistead can't come and Mary C. doesn't want to burden Powell because he brought her. Pris's baby is ill with Whooping Cough. Bettie and the rest are well. Unsure about John not sending Frank to school. Miss Nancy P. and David Minge are married. If Charles Field lived in Rosewell, where is Mrs. Tabb Catlett. Powell, Margaret, and Cousin Mary Barnet (Randolph) send their love.
