Dear cousin and all:
Your letter received and was glad you received my letter before you sent your last or I would been wondering when it had got lost.
Well Aunt Mary's sale is over last Saturday and I think the things sold very well. Everything was sold except aunt's clothes, and those the

heirs decided to pack in a box and send to some Mission House to give out to the needy. The sale netted $150.16.\, just household goods. The farm is not sold yet. I bid on a quilt for you, the best one in the bunch for .60c. So we will send you the quilt and little cream pitcher of mama's mother. You will find this wrapped inside the quilt, so be careful when you unwrap it. We will send the package by express.
Mama is not very well these days. She has sore feet caused by poor circulation of blood. The Dr. was here this morning. He is taking care of the sore. We are trying to keep the sore from spreading. She is not layed (laid) up at all, but I am afraid of it getting worse if we don't watch it carefully. The sore is just her big toe, is swollen some and quite red. Then she has trouble with her head, part of the time, so dizzy and aching, but for the last few day,s she is feeling quite good. But I am afraid I won't have any Mother many more

years. But when I write, don't say anything about it for I don't want to scare her. She said to tell you this quilt is for your Christmas.
Now when you receive your package, write us and tell us all about the news. GoodBy.
Our love to you all.
What a nice little family you have. We love to look at them, only you ought to sent all of your pictures. Amy
