My Dear cousin Eddie, According to the date of your letter, I am very prompt in answering, for the date reads June 5, 1905 - but when I look at the date of receipt on the envelope, I see May 5, 1905. This is another of the wonders of the age, when we find ourselves in the receipt of a letter a month before it is written! Kansas is a wonderful state anyway. Now I suppose I must answer some of your questions, the first of which are "Hows", "What" "Whether" I think the report of the first two can be merged into the one word

right margin: Hudson, June 5, 1905

But we may not find it practicable to go anyway. Hope you and Helen and the "bairns" are all well. Holden joins in love to each and all. Affectionately, Hattie
