My dear sister Edith:

Well, Mother has gone to prayer
meeting and I am alone
so I will cheerfully
endeavor to answer your
sweet letter of the 12. Edith,
you do not know how I
appreciated your sweet,
interesting epistle, for really
I had begun to think
that you had forgotten
your little, (or big zooty as
she is now).

Yes, I know the weather.
There is perfectly delightful
and you, my dear, do
not wish I were there any
more than I, for I think
