My dear Miss Hartzell:

You dear child:

I don't think your dreadful at
all, but love you dearly and
believe you write me wherever
you can. And I know you
are as busy as can possibly be.

Hope your dear, good cousin is
perfectly well again and
that you are having a rest.

We just returned home from
a six week visit in Minneapolis
and at both my own and Mr. and Mrs.
Hickox's, [?], old homes in Iowa.

Your dear, good letter was forwarded
to my old home from here.

Mr. Hickox, [?], has fully recovered
from his bad sprain and is
very busy. I see very little of
him. Wish you were near enough
to steal away to me for a good
