How old was Aunt when she died? And how Dear Cousin I suppose you are aware that I got married to a young man of my own name he bought father's farm and has a farm of his own 2 miles distant which we always farm yet so you see I never had to change. Im in the place where I was born but no I was born in Cully Capple (?) but only a baby whom we came here we have got 4 sons James Lorrens, John, David, and William Henry.
