Little Elfie I suppose keeps you from being lonesome. She is a funny little wriggle wiggle & I hope behaves well. You must not let her go out too much in the hot sun, for that is very bad for dogs as well as for people. There are many dogs in New York but none funnier or wigglier than Elfie. Here is a beautiful & famous flower that all good people love The Alpine Edel[illegible] from
