User-Contributed Transcription 1898 152 Woodland Ave. Oberlin, O. Jan. 9. 98My Dear Mrs. Kendall I rec'd your of Jan. 6 and was equally glad and surprised - glad to once more hear from you and yours - and surprised to learn that you had moved from AnnArbor. I'm sorry to learn that you are not well. I have been quite poorly all summer and during the fall not able to do my own work. But am better. I keep house in my double house - have a nice family in one part - hire my hard work done washing, sweeping etc. keep a horse and during warm weather spend most of the time driving, which I enjoy. I am afraid I can help you but little in records as what I have are quite incomplete, but will copy them as I have them, and the cashier ones - some later will be from memory. My sister Nancy died two years ago in the hospital at Cleveland, where I went with her Wednesday, was operated on Saturday and died Sunday morning. I cam with her body
