Hinckley, Ohio, September 14th, 1880 Dear Cousin Eddie,

  I don't know whether father has even answered your good and welcome letter, or not, but I remember your said you should not consider it wholly answered, until each one of us has written, so I hasten to do my part and shall expect a receipt in full, for the same. I am somewhat at a loss to know in what part of the country you may be found, at this time. But think I will send to the old place, and trust to Good Fortune (our especial friend) to send it to you.
  Oh - Cousin Eddie, please let me make you acquainted with your Cousin Holden. (Holden, this is Cousin Eddie). Here I want you

top margin: rather hoped you would come and get them, and you may yet. Bring the Aunties with you and come to stay. You see I write as though we were there too, and we do intend to be in the spring. I shall hope to hear from you soon. Aunt Jennie owes me a letter too. Holden joins me in love to you all. As ever, your cousin Hattie

Direct, Hinckley, O. Medina Co. Mrs. H. A. Putnam.
