Everett Homestead Tuesday afternoon Oct 25 - 1887 My dear cousin Jennie Have you ever tried rocking a cradle and writing a letter - if so you can appreciate condition of things just now. Will pardon the pencil as an inkstand & pen would be out of the question. I am in a writing mood have just finished one letter so I want to keep on while the word lasts lest it leave me and you be left without a letter causing you to think of me as "gone or frozen"

in margin Anna is in the kitchen now planning something with Mr. Jones. like you she has good executive ability if she only had strength to carry it out. Now good night for this time. Lovingly Janie
