We will see if Harshman will
take those cards down. I will see.
I did not understand E or if you
want them will mail them
in haste.
Gustavus, Oct 22 1901
Mr dear Seneca,
Your letter came
yesterday, but on account of
being out both last eve and
Sunday eve, did not get a
letter wrote. Sunday we all
went to church and after
dinner was over, went down to
Lanes, and last eve were
invited to the 10th anniversary
of Mr. & Mrs. Dwight Logens,
a nice company, not very large.
To day Mrs.Rumins here working
& C. Elmer has gone to take
her home and get him some
boots. Haven't we had three
beautiful days. Wish it might
last a week or longer.
I tell you Seneca we have got
the boss cat in that little
blue kitten. He is performing
around here. Just now is down
behind me at the back of
my chair. His name is Ginger
and he is rightfully named.
Papa and Aunt Mim came
from Troy last Friday. They
are all gaining. Bertie was at
Buffalo last week. Getting so
fat he could hardly button
his clothes. Alice around but
very thin, is beginning to gain.
Should the weather keep fine,
Wilson and Elmer will go out
out I think.
This morning I sent you a
Well Spring and one of those
Grade cards. Elmer asked
Harshman about having
some and he had about
30 left and you might
have theirs: said he was
going to Warren to Teachers
meeting Sat and would
take theirs down to you. If
you would be there. He can
do that and then mail them
to you if not there. You could
have them at a cent and a half
apiece. Alex and [?Mister] are
going to Buffalo Thurs and
back next Monday. Wanted
one of the boys to go and
milk, but they cannot do it
and go to school. They
got someone to help milk and
leave old Fred to shift for
himself. It does not seem just
right, but perhaps they have
a clear conscience. I hope so.
Well, I'm so sleepy I cannot
hardly write. Wed morn
I will write a little but it is
almost school time. Aunt Mim
sends love to you. She had a letter
from Mrs. Kennedy last night. She
wants you to come up and stay
over someday with them. Says
come anytime. If you will
come up come out. They will
take you back. Said she would write
to you. Now go, Seneca for you
will have a nice time. Florence
is a very nice young lady,
very plain. She is teaching in
Demer's Institute. Do not overdo
now. You had better put on your
flannell drawers any way.
kid may [?] coming so will
have to stop. Some way I feel
as if I was forgetting something.
Much love from your mother.
