time that I should think
of you in fact I am a long
time thinking of writing to you

poor Charlie he is in heaven
I hope I am sure that it is all the
good people that is done to
death our Lord had to suffer
for our sins & he forgave his
enemies I did not see your mother
or father since the election I am
sure you felt delighted to have 2 cousin John get elected
our pricts pulled well for
him all the same he did
not get too many votes in
this parish do you hear
often from Tom & is he getting
on good. I am sure he is not
in one camp with you. It was
a very bad summer.questionable reading

very cold. You heard questionable reading
