you were so sweet, i loved you dearest grandma!
tell me about your mother ruth balsy stephens. and dexter.
tell me of alexander stephens.
tell me of the wars.
i am so sorry i came so late in your life. i wish we had more time together.
thank you for loving ransom.
stephen was a good father. you would love how much he knew about all his wonderful books.
he was a scholar.
not of money, but of ideas.
i remember the last time i saw you, on the chesapeake; you wore red.
thank you for the trinkets you left for me! they were so fine!
mary
