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?
