This will be quite like a journal! Wonder wheter it will be too taxing for you to read so long a scribble! Tell cousin Mary she can read it - after you are tired! She has not had to swallow as many Kansas items as you! By the way would she like a place on my list of correspondence? I feel quite strange knowing nothing how they prosper etc., whether Clarence is ill and away in the woods seeking health, or at home enjoying the society of his very pleasant family and home! How is Ella? and Mabel? Her name has never once come in any of your letters, Bessie and Marjory have both visited Steuben and so won a mention! Do you know we came without any photos? How often I have longed for one good visit in that way! Looking at the semblance of those we love. Cannot you, Anna have yours taken for us. and cousins as many as will? John has some likenesses- mostly photos and we enjoy them and Mary takes a great deal of pleasure showing them to our friends who call. I would get an album if only I had something to fill it. Cousin Mary once gave me $5 for a Christmas!
