My dear Son
I meant to have
written yesterday - your
birth day - but numer-
ous engagements presented.
Now that you have
been to the Army and
returned safely, thank
God, will you
not come and
see us. Let me
know when you
will probably come
and how long you
will stay as Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
would like to return
with you. Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
has I suppose reached
Washington
Frances
Birth: 1854-02-13 Death: 1931-05-23
and Frank
Birth: 1826-12-12 Death: 1909-08-24
arehere. Frances is well
Frank not very well.
Our family are much
as usual. Nelly
Birth: 1862-09-11 Death: 1921-10-05
is not quite well
today. When she
heard me speak of
you she immediately
said she wanted to
see “Uncle Gus & Midge
Unknown
eEditorial Note
Frances says she will
come out again when
you come home.
All send love
your affectionate
Mother
