User-Contributed Transcription you have if a little old style no matter at all, it will pass muster here. I think the climate would suit you bothThough houses here are not so well built as in the northern states. The air finds admittance through many crevices. They are not contrived on the plan of our houses but of course that is an affair easily remedied. We have a large room 21 1/2 X 17 at least 10 ft high with open fireplace, but no closets, or wardrobe in it. Do write me soon again and come if you can. We are going to try riding horseback one of these days Susie has been out several times in that way. If you were here we would enjoy ourselves well ambling about. I have been on one mountain since I have been here. Well I think of nothing more just now excuse this ill written scrawl, and believe me as ever your friend and cousin Susan K R. Wales.
