Glasco, Kans –

Dear Nettie & Mattie:

Was glad to get Netties card – had thought of you so many times {perina} . I have so many to write to & it is more of a task any more. – I try to write the boys often – I used to depend on Adaf for some of the writing – we rather took turns writing the boys – but now I have that to do & of course write to Betty often as I can. I am always glad to hear from you girls. I have been thinking so much about your Father & thought I would write to him but just haven’t – I wrote to Wm. & Katie & George’s & Ruth & Cy – after we were there – but haven’t heard anything more – well we did get a Christmas Card too from Martha & John. I saw by the Salina Journal they had a car accident & have intended writing them – I also wanted to tell you about the Morton Fletcher family also the Chet Wentworth family that went from here to Ft. Collin’s. The Fletchers are home now Jim just now told me. The Wentworths are in a restaurant or Café – she sent me such a pretty card of Sympathy after Adaf was gone. I appreciated it but never have written her – The oldest boy was here a week during the Easter vacation.  Ella & Jack Collend line at Grangeville Ida they are out about 40 mi. up in the Mts. May “Heggendorn” Fadely went to see them a year or so ago – Mary & Frank just moved to Boring, Oregon – Box 418 – RR #1 – the first of the year – it’s 11 miles East of Portland Oregon – Eunice lives at Joseph, Ida - & Myra Hockersmith lives at Kennewick – Wash – think Warren is with Eunice now or was a short time ago. Eunice Bentley – I couldn’t think of her last name – her husband died – Myras husband has been sick a long time – It would be nice if Archie could meet some of those people. We have been real well all winter – Harry is with us & has been since the first of the year – He can do quite a little choring – Jim was elected Trustee of Solomon Township this spring so he is away through the day so much – has been assessing but is nearly through now. We were down to Beth’s last Wed – Little Mary is quite a girl – 3 years old now – she talks so plain & is cute as can be – we enjoy her so much – Fred’s cousin Anna Ogan has been keeping house for him since in the fall – she is real nice & is lots of company for me. She is a cousin of John’s wife too. This has been a very windy day & so warm – We’ve had such cool weather for so long – Have had lots of snow & rain but these windy days dry out the soil. Maybe it will blow up another rain. Write some times we would be so glad to hear from you – would like to go & see your Father once more will try to if possible – Lots of love to all – Allie & Jim
