Libbie got a letter from James wanting her to come home Saturday.
*Libbie is their daughter Mary Elizabeth Herrick who married James Richards in 1865 and they had a daughter, Emma born Dec 18, 1865. It appears that they were living in Wilbraham at the time. In recent posts we read that Lib's baby is sick so maybe she went home to get some help with the baby.
