Dear Brother & Sister,
I have just got home from my business and I thought that I
would drop a few lines to you, having been very busy of late so that I have had
but very little time write to you or anyone else. And so you must excuse me for this
delay. I know that you don’t know how little
time I have to sit down and do anything like I used to have when I was in the
country, and more especially just now when we have so much to do at the mill. And one of our partners is about going out and
we are busy taking account of stock, etc., and fixing our accounts up, etc.
I will write again soon and tell you more about it, and I
will get Richard to answer M.A. E.’s letter for me and I suppose she got her
book. But she will please tell me next
time what book she wants for the ___ members __. Frances got that one for her.
Richard has not been well this past week and consequently
wasn’t to work all week and I had to do more work than I would had to do if he
had been well.
Yours, etc.
Edwin
In haste, all is well.
PS – I have four letters to write tonight.
