Dear Cousins:
Well, how are you all getting along & what are you doing? This will find you all well. We are all about as usual, I hope.
Well, I guess this scene will remind you of your visit to Abilene? The weather is nice, just like spring. I wish we could see one another.
Good visit. Why don't you visit us?
From your Cousin, John
