My dear Mrs Colenutt
I never like sending those abrupt postal cards to a friend but the train was late and I had no time to write a letter. We got home quite safely without any mishap. The visit to the Island has been a very pleasant one and the main thing which has made it so has been the intercourse with you & yours. The air at St. Helens is very good but that in Union Street is much better. A thousand thanks to you for all your kindness and more particularly to my poor sick wife who feels most acutely any attention shown to her because she knows how unselfish it must be. So do I feel it. What I should have done with her and the children this morning if it had not been for you & Mary I do not know. Tell Mary how grateful I am to her.
Will you please let Mrs White know what she owes you for the chair and some things which were bought for her .Affectionate regards to yourself, your husband, Mary & the children.
Faithfully yours
W. Hale White
Excuse the half sheet – it was accidental.
