Letter, April 17, 1871, Mary Call Brevard, Tallahassee, to ''My Dear Mother'' (her mother-in-law, T.W. Brevard's mother), 4 pp., regarding birth of a baby and other family matters: ''Baby is a month old today . . . I have been so well ever since his birth that I have found it very hard to be idle . . . The children are perfectly delighted with the baby, especially Alice, she never passes him without stopping to kiss him . . . although he is no. seven he is very welcome, but I hope he is the last. I don't think that it will be possible for me to visit you this summer, but I am very anxious that Theodore should and take Carrie and Call with him. Carrie is not at all well she suffers constantly from head-ache so much that I have stopped her from school. . . Sister has gone back to the plantation and has taken Jennie with her. . .''
