Haviland Ohio June 17 1897

Dear Aunt and Uncle Wickensimer

I thought I would try and write you a few lines we are well but bad cold. I hope these few lines will find you all well. We have had kind of a nice Winter haven’t had much snow. Protracted meetings is going on everyplace. The Quakers are having the best time of all. Well Aunt Kate I thought very hard of you folks for not writing or sending us word about Grand Mothers death and you folks never answered the card that was sent you last spring. I thought I would write and see whether you had any thing of Grand Mothers you could send me for to keep. I would have liked very well to have been Out there again and seen her. Aunt Minerva wrote and told us about it. Brother Henry and Uncle Sim left Uncle Henry Noble that Sunday about 2 o’clock in the afternoon but did not know anything of it until they got home. I guess I will close hoping to hear from you soon. Goodby to all
