Thankfully, she is well again. She mentions that her brother, Marshall visited and is looking very well. She speaks of the marriage of Edwin Howlett to a woman "who must be at least 15 years older than he is" and how she has stopped writing the family members in Virginia because there are so many that she doesn't know who to write first.LanguageEnglishRecipientLeroy Francis Moody
