Dear Ones at Home, One & All,
As George & Louise is writing home today, I too can drop
a line they say, as we have not heard from any of you the past week. I
hope that there is nothing the matter with any of you. When I don’t hear from you once a week I am
uneasy until I do hear that all is right with you.
The rain is coming down in torrents just now with very vivid
lightening & heavy thunder. I
shall try to come home about the last of
this month if possible. Shall try to get
a pass. If not, shall have to abide my
time in some way.
I have not been very well for the past two or three days but
am all right again this afternoon. Olive
& I took the horse & buggy on the 5th and to Amite City to visit
the Pagsons as it was the 39th anniversary of our marriage and we
feasted too well on strawberries & it made me feel uncomfortable in my
diaphragm, nothing very serious however.
Robbie & Mattie, too, must not think that they are
slighted in the least as all letters from
here are as much for them as any of the family, as I can assure them that they
are as much thought of as any and their name is mentioned in connection with
home matters daily.
Am sorry to hear that Mrs. Joseph Richardson is not much
better. We all hope that she will soon
recover. I shall write tomorrow if all
is right to Mr. Ried, her brother at Glencoe.
My correspondence has been accumulating on my hands for the last day or
two.
Has Uncle Edwin made you the promised visit as yet? What news from Frank?
Arthur, you will find a Sanwich Island Package stamp
enclosed in this from Mr. Bacon to Howard.
I hope that you received the half dime all right that I sent in a letter
to Winfred last week. When is your
school over?
My love & best regards to all at home & abroad,
Father
