Dear M B. Friends:
We are indebted to Ford" for
her good report of the reunion, for
which we thank her sincerely.
Though our numbers were less than
usual, which we regretted, the
fraternal spirit was present, and the
absent ones were not forgotten. We
were glad to see Ann" who had
made repeated efforts in the fore
noon to be with us, and who by per-

noon" as we used to say when visits
were in vogue.
My Dear Aunt Madge and NJ 3. Sisters:

think I have neglected Aunt Madge so
long, / have had let's of company, and
with preserving and other things to see
to, and roomers, l have almost for
cotton my own name.

American to see who was there. l
would love to have been there, Ford

was very sorry to read of the death
of Aunt Maria's grandson, in last
weeks paper. l know they all have
our sympathy. Only few days before
it happened l was talking to Mr..
CHM in Ellsworth, and we spoke OF

to be.
