Ray Brook N.Y. Dec. 18. 1927. Dear friends. I often think of you but writing letters is the biggest job I do and I neglect my own people. I am well as ever and as far as I know-all of mine. My brother's on Madagascar lost the little girl [?] Asged was her name shortly after they came down there again. But most likely you hear from Berta yourself occasionally. She is a good writer. -- I wonder how you all are Ruth and Dorothy grown up ladies I suppose. How time flies 2 years. and a half--soon 3 year since I was in Minneapolis. My aunt died last spring. Now there is left only one, the youngest, of those sisters and brothers. My father has 2 brothers and a sister alive yet, and father is 82 years old.
