User-Contributed Transcription Cynthia, my dear sister. - Eddie has given me his letter to finish up. I hardly dare write any for fear of spoiling his letter but will venture. It is most nine o'clock and Aunty is waiting for company to go to bed, so I have only a few minutes to write. It is some time since we have heard from you, and I fear it has been longer since we have written to you. What is the reason I do not know, but we have been pretty busy for two or three weeks. About two weeks ago, Mother slipped her foot, in going down cellar, and put her knee pan out of place. She was obliged to keep her bed for three or four days. most of the time She is able to go about the house, but is quite lame yet. I am afraid it will be some time before it will be strong again. I don't remember whether we have written about this before or not. We are most afraid that Ma will go about too much and injure her knee. Sis, I have thought a great deal about you for the last two or three days and dreamed about you two nights. It seems almost as though I had seen you. Nellie wishes to send her best respects to you. She is going to leave us next week. I hardly know what we shall do then as I have to work in the office this month.Give much love to Elizabeth and family. Know I wish I could see them all. Hope they will come home next summer. And you, it seems as though you must come before that. Much love from all to you all. Please write to Anna. Mother's knee is gaining very fast she rode to church yesterday morning and to Remember with Father her general health as quite good much better than last winter.Love fromMary Morimam
