J.Q.McC. No.2
I expect that you will have more peas than you will want to sow next year and they will probably bring a pretty good price. Have you ever had any experience in keeping peas over? I am told that there is a weevil that works in them very badly but that this weevil can be entirely killed by treating the peas with Carbon bi sulphide ....
Yours very truly

Dear Mother:
I rec’d your letter a few days ago, and I was ashamed to learn that I had not written to you for so long,
indeed I thought I had written since you sent us the pictures. Well, I shall try and do better in the future.
We rec’d the pictures in good time and in good condition. We were delighted to get them. I think the
girls are fine looking. Those of Mr. MacHatton and yourself are very good. Now for the next thing, we wish
some of you to visit us next summer. If you can’t come, let some of the girls come and spend part if not all the
summer vacation with us. Please do not

My dear Mother
I have just received a letter from Mary enclosing a letter from Martha telling all about what a bad time you have been having. Mary McComb had mentioned some time ago you’re having a sore thumb and Joe had written that you had something like a felon on your thumb but as I hear nothing from home about it supposed it wasn’t anything serious.

My dear John & Belle,
Did not think of this being the 45 & 47 anniversary of Ed and Will’s birth until I dated this letter. “How time do fly “as the old colored woman said when she was told that Christ was born 1800 years ago. Rec’d your cards from Paris & Richmond. I am looking for a long letter giving an account of your visit in Crawford Co. Did you see Abe?

My dear Mother,
Received your letter yesterday. Somehow I just felt that the next letter I got from home would have bad news in it and I just trembled when Martin handed me the letter. Of course it is good if you are getting what Dale owes you but I never was so distressed in my life to think that I will never see my dear old home again
