Dear Cousin
I now take the
pleasure of writing so you
for the first time but
I hope it will not be the
last time. I told will so
tell you to write in nearly
all my letters but I think
he has forgotten to tell you
so I will write first. We
are all well at present
and hope that you are the
same. I would like very
much to have your picture
would you please send it.
If you will send your picture
I will send you mine. Will
says he is coming so our
place in the fall and I
wish that you would come
along with him. I do not
know much news to write about
this time but if you will
write to me I will write you
a longer letter the next time.
I think I will close as I am
in a hurry to get to the
Gospel Army which is in
Dunnville at present
Yours truly
Mary Overholt
