[On side and top of letter]
I know & would do them both good, and they deserve
a rest and change. I be-
lieve Nellie would keep
up the house work and
certainly you four
boys could man-
age the outdoors work.
You will be home
in June will you write
now? I shall be glad
to hear from you
when you can
write, but should
not hurry you
for I know you
are very busy.
Keep well
With love from

My dear Nephew,
I was thinking
that I better write to you soon.
If I did so before you leave L.
I think you have not much longer.
Well, this has been
a beautiful day. Yesterday also
the warmest it has been since
I came to Mich. Seems like spring.
There has been so much cold
weather. I think Ohio has
had the snow this winter as
New York State also.
Well, Seneca, I hope you
are well. Your mother wrote
this week that you were well
and doing well. Am glad that
you are getting along so nicely.
I am so sorry that you
mother has been so down with
the head cold. It worries me. I
sometimes think that I oughtn’t
to have come away and left
her when she was so poorly, but
she thought I better to come,
and I felt on Aunt Esther’s account
I better to. She seems glad to have
me with her and says she feels
better that I am with her.
We do enjoy it and visit lots,
but I cannot but think how
hard it is for your mother. She
tells me not to worry. They are
all good to help her but I do
wish she had a good and strong girl.
We went to all services
this morning, class meeting,
preaching & SS. Think we will
go to the League & evening services.
The first bell is ringing now.
Last Sunday eve went up
to the Cong. church the first time.
Heard a good sermon and fine
singing by the choir.
I no doubt Seneca but what
you do well with your SS class.
Keep at it. Whenever you are called
Monday morning. Another nice
spring like morning. I just asked
Aunt E. any word to send to Seneca
and she said to Uncle H “she can
give him our love, cannot she?”
He said, “Yes, a bushel of it for
what I care”. I do hope Ray
will come nearer to them soon.
It seems to me there is plenty
one could do around home,
a young man especially.
I saw in last week’s W. Tribune
a piece from Lordstown of the
Literary Society of the High School
doing so well, but it did not
mention the teacher’s name.
I thought it was your society.
Have you been to Fannie Kennedy’s
yet? I had a nice letter from her.
Seneca, I want you to [?favor]
your mother and father taking
a western trip this summer.
