Sister Lizzie, --

 

I received your letter and was pleased to hear from you and home as I did not hear from Mary yet.

 

Well we planted James Monahan today.  I was pall Bearer.  Aunt Kate Malone and Patsy was down.  I went to the wake the first night.  I heard they had a little excitement in the town of Coopersville one Sunday night not long since and Katie was in it.  That is virtually.  I do believe it not because I call the parties from which I heard it good authority, but because it seems natural.

 

I got a valentine and I think it was from Lizzie Golden,

 

From Mart
