Dear Cousin John: -
Why dont you

busy there? We are all
O.K. out here. Had
just dandy weather out

a very little snow
so far. How did you
spend Xmas? Had
a pretty good time and
got quite a number of
presents too. I suppose
you have heard that Emma
got married. When are
you going to get married?
Write soon. With Regards M.M.
