Dear Mother:&#13;
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, &#13;
indeed I thought I had written since you sent us the pictures. Well, I shall try and do better in the future.&#13;
We rec’d the pictures in good time and in good condition. We were delighted to get them. I think the &#13;
girls are fine looking. Those of Mr. MacHatton and yourself are very good. Now for the next thing, we wish &#13;
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 &#13;
summer vacation with us. Please do not</text>

	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. </text>
