My Dear Cousins

    It is more than week since I left your house, and this is my first word to you to let you know of my whereabouts.  When I got home I found a letter from Ella asking me to come to Carleton that day (Monday) if I could, as I was to go sometime when the family was small I didnt get started until Friday. Came here on the six PM Boat from Cape  Vincent. Ella and the little girls were at the landing to meet me Clarence just coming. They are pleasantly situated, here there is just Clarence and his family here now. Ella has her nurse girl with here, and the cook is engaged for the Season, she is from the Mill at Rome, & is very capable. The cottage is situated on the point of Carleton next Cape V -- three miles across from there,there is on the first floor a sitting room and two Bed rooms a broad verandah on three sides of the house the Kitchen is sepperate and open on one end of the verandah, which is (the verandah) used for a dining room
