My animal is well; I have not yet taught her to eat, but nature is doing
the business. I gave her a crust to assist the cutting of her teeth; and
now she has two, she makes good use of them to gnaw a crust, biscuit,
&c. You would laugh to see her; she is just like a little squirrel; she
will guard a crust for two hours; and, after fixing her eye on an object
for some time, dart on it with an aim as sure as a bird of prey—nothing
can equal her life and spirits. I suffer from a cold; but it does not
affect her. Adieu! do not forget to love us—and come soon to tell us
that you do.
