New York Mills Nov. 6. 1888 My dear Eddie

 I am wondering how it is with the boy these days. I have looked a little for you the last day or two thinking you might come home to vote. The contest is over at last and now we wait the results. Our men folks have gone to Utica to get the returns. I wanted to go to but prudence whispered "better not" The house seems unusualy quiet, for some reason

left margin: I am to lead our young peoples meeting next Sunday night. The Holy Spirit, the topic, will you send up a little unclear for its unclear. I do not forget you at the throne of Grace? - daily your name is carried there. I long to know how you are prospering and hope you will write as you have the time I hope the poor little stamps are purchased, it was only an impulsive act, born of having a good supply on hand and the outgrowth of close friends It is raining again today though we have had two lovely days this week but the rain has predominated this fall with love Most affectionately yours "Cousin"
