Shall like to make
Nice pies and cake,
And share also.
But now good bye,
'Tis time that I
Your patience spare,
May you each day
In love repay
A parent's care.
Child of sixteen months old to a Cousin in Boston.
My Cousin, dear,
I almost fear
To write to you;
So rare your wit
'T is surely fit,
My words be few.
