we found quite to jolly tiring the curtains not hung up any where & the floor partly up in the sitting room - Our things did not arrive from the railroad till late on Friday.
On Thursday morning we were quite in confusion, first in one room & then in another & Mama very busy arranging everything. Lu H & me went out to see Stoemama & Grannie. We found the former pretty well, the latter not quite so well as ideal - not Aunt Anna who is however better than she has been.

Notes
1) There seems to be a box like object outside the right hand window, I'm not sure what it could be, is it a clock? Click on the picture for a closer view.
2) Stoemama and Grannie live close by. The 1841 census shows Grannie (Sarah Gibson) living with 4 of Jessy's mum's siblings, Joseph, Charles, Mary and Anna (Aunt Anna).
3) H or Tanny is Jessy's younger sister, Hannah.
Lu is Jessy's eldest sister, Lucy.
Jessy has two other sisters that didn't live at home, Marianne and Georgiana.
