Clinton Illinois June 15, 1891 Dear Peoples All, When I came in from Weldon 12 miles East Saturday afternoon and went to the P.O. and asked for letters, the little post mistress handed me among others the great fat juicy family letters. I always feel like throwing up my hat when I see it. It does me more good than a square meal and a bath. May she never grow thinner.

I rec'd a fine letter from Mother, this morning I felt justified for going to the post office on Sunday when I found it. It's always a treat if it is a rare one Chas! Your name is not Dennis.
