Whitestown Iowa? My Dear Cynthia

Your last letter was duly received and ought .to have been ans. before but it seems a task to  write so I have put it off from day to day hoping that some of you would come to see us and that I would not have to write of 18 sickness and death - oh Cynthia it seems like a dreadful dream and that I must wake up and find it only a dream that my father a brother are both here. Father did not seem like himself since little Davie death. His cheerfulness was gone

written sideways If my Cynthia will be happy I give my consent and hope she always will be. excuse? my writeing unclear try to come to see us if not write a long letter. I need it so unclear Did you put the Death in your paper? unclear would like to have it put in. Love to all from Annie
