Richmond December 18 1856
My Dear Mr Morais
I thank you for the interest you evinced, and the friendly manner in which you endeavored to retain Levys situation for him, and regret for the sake of all concerned that you were not successful, of course, comment from me, on his conduct, is unnecessary, you can imagine my feelings, I can only say, that I duly appreciate that as well as many other of your kindly actions, towards me and mine.
I presume Clara has received the slippers sent by Mr Hart, do they fit well, and is she pleased with them. I could not suit myself in another pattern or should have done so, as she has seen that often enough to be tired of it.
Mr Jacobs received the Asmonean, is much pleased with the
Asmonean thanks you for your attention and desires kind regards. I think I said before that all here were highly pleased with your discourse. Levy is trying to obtain a situation in this city. All my friends seem anxious he should do so should he succeed, it would render me very lonely at home, but would evidently prove beneficial to him at least, until Mr Hyneman and himself can better understand each other, or the asperity of their tempers are somewhat softened, which is most likely to be the result, of after a separation of some length of time.
You are aware that Jacob is with Mr Elly Goldsmit, I am happy to say they are mutually pleased, but he is unwilling to remain after I leave the city unless Levy stays here. The other boys are improving considerably their weekly reports from school are very good. I trust they will continue as studious after we return home.
Augustus expects to read an Haphtorah in a few weeks, that
however is not an evidence of improvement as any child can be taught to rehearse of few lines of hebrew in a few weeks. I will permit it however, as an incitement to further progress.
The excitement of the wedding is over, and all are settled down again, into the hum, drum, of every day life, but I should not be surprised at a revival of dancing parties next week, of which I cannot be a very joyous participant, as I feel more like being at home after an absence of nearly two months which seem like as many years notwithstanding the enjoyment I have had, I am generally at home in my dreams however.
There seems a strange coincidence in our writers at the same time, which causes delay in acknowledging letters, as I always wait to hear again from you, and you probably probably do the same, but the delay with me at this time was caused by a sudden pain in my eyes, and I feared to strain them lest the result might be
serious How is Clara is she stronger and the dear Nina, I know, has another tooth ere this, as the second generally appears shortly after the first she has doubtless bitten her mama already as that is a mischievous pleasure with the little ones, I am anxious to see the little darling and often speak of her and Sammie does the same, bye the bye he has not improved in his conduct, but is without exception one of the most forward children I meet with, he desires love to Mr & Mrs. Morais and says you must kiss Nina for him. Schrivers Levys Mailerts Erekiel in fact all here desire kind regards to yourself and family
Tender my best love to Clara kiss both her and Nina for me and offer my kind regards to Mrs Weil & family Finsis and all others who inquire for me, and believe me
Yours ever truly
Adeline Hyneman
Levy and all the children desire love to all - Identifier
