We are having a fine time. The weather has been very bad; it has rained every other day ever since we came. This morning is bright. Mae Belle said Mallie got out; glad to have him care for her. We expect to start for Ohio the 11th.
This is a nice country. Onaway is a very pretty place. Would like to see you in Alpena. It is his cousin out on the road about 75 or 100 miles from here, he thought it.
I will see you.
