Dear Cousins All:-

      We are having the most beautiful Autumn I ever remember; although I am a shut‑in, I enjoy the scenery.

     Dellie went away the 29th of June. Had he lived seven days more, he would have been seventy‑four years old.

     My house has been closed all Summer; have been staying with my children; I have four,‑ Emma, Harry, Burr, and Ross, and ten grandchildren,‑ seven boys and three girls.

     I am home now and expect to be during the winter although lonesome.

     I hope every one of the first Cousins will respond, also the second Cousins. I shall enjoy your letters,‑ also to see your faces on paper.

                        With love to all,

                            Good-bye,
