Dear Cousins:
Rec’d your card from Cal. Friday P.M. also the one from Mis. some time ago. glad to hear you are feeling so good. we are about the same as always here. I meant to write you after we were to see you in July and you know how fast I am at writing. Well the next thing I heard your were gone. Mother stood the trip well and enjoyed it very much. We took a trip to Lockport after that too. Will R. and Frank L. were at the cottage this morning while I was at Church so I did not see them.
Cousin Ada spent two weeks with us a short time ago she keeps up pretty good. has her spells of not feeling very good at times too.
Dell was at Colrado for six weeks this fall. she was in Tonawanda once since she come back but she did not come to see us.
Mother says to tell you she is glad to hear you are feeling so well and she wonders if the bannas grow there for that is where she would like to be where she could pick and eat them. she says they are the same as always. by the way, last week saw some pomegranites that came from Alabama and a bunch of cotton as it grows there. I think this will be all for this time maybe you wont get this if you do we will be glad to hear from you any time.
with love from us all Ellie
