always make it rule to iot these
little matters down at the time, SO
a. to avoid any possible hitch in their
settlement, but in this case I unfortu-
nately lost the memorandum book,
which l found yesterday in a very
dilapidated condition lying in the
woodshed. where it had evidently
slipped out of my pocket while I was
chopping kindling.
If you cannot recollect this matter,
and think l am mistaken, why, di-
vide it between your boys as a pres
ent from Cousin Will"
Everything here is very quiet, as
usual. We were visited last week
by a circus, and the reaction is Just
setting in. Collections in conse-
quence are very slow.
Nettie and l often talk of you all
and envy you your fortunate loca-
ton in Chicago. What a boon it
will be to have a Worlds Fair right
It your front doorl
Poor Nsttis's health has besn fail
ing lately, and l have promised her
a little "Trip before long; so, my dear
Bob, We will probably take in your
fair. Our eldest girl, Clara, is OF a
very lively disposition and is longing
to see your great city.
She hasimproved wonderfully and
you will be really astonished when
you hear her play upon your piano.
Harry has grown into a fine little
fellow, and is marking off each day
on the calendar till he can see bis
Cousin Bob. Our youngest boy and
the baby We will arrange to leave
with my mother-in-law.
The old lady herself will probably
run up later, and remain a week OF
two, and l will return here and per-
haps take Harry with me.
Now I hope you will not think Of
putting yourself out on our account
at all, al we will como prepared to
take "pot luck" Those two small
rooms on the second floor will be Just
the thing for US. Nettie and I can
occupy one, and Harry the other.
There will be plenty Of time, Of
course, to complete arrangements,
and we may possibly change oul
plans in some respects, but we are
all talking of it here, so I thought
you would like to join in and throw
out some suggestions.
With love from Nettis and ths
children to your good wife and fami
