My Dear Miss Blackwell:
Your hansome card
was received last night, and it really brought
"joy" to the heart of your old teacher.  Although
fully aware that his being remembered is
only due to your kindness, yet he cannot help
rejoicing at the thought that you still bear him
in mind.  May the "many blessings" you sent 
be a hundred fold showered upon you and yours
for the goodness shown me.
Ever yours from my soul
J. B. Torricelli

My Dear Miss Blackwell:
The good wish 
expressed in your pretty card has ever been
a reality for me. Although for many years with 
the bread of domestic sorrows, "the crumbs of Love
and Peace" were never wanting.  Some, and not the 
least strengthening, came from you.  To say that you have 
my heartfelt thanks for them would by no means 
tell you the feelings of
You most affectionate & obliged
J. B. Torricelli

My Dear Miss Blackwell:
Truly will you
kindness spoil me.  By remebering me every
Easter and Christmas, it has come to pass that
when those days approach I think of you, and 
should be disappointed not hearing from you.
It is so pleasant to know that one is not utterly
forgotten and some gentle soul occasionally bestows
a thought on him.  God bless you! and grant 
thant all joys expressed on your handsome card come
back to you a hundred fold.  Such is the earnest
wish of your old teacher and friend
J. B. Torricelli
