Dear Sister

          I am at home this morning I came down yesterday Christmas with Will Oh Jule I got home sick I cant stay away I am going home today. Will is coming after me we are boarding in Columbus. I dont like to board at all it is real lonesome I expect we will go to housekeeping in the spring. I have not heard from you since I was married & think it is a real shame that you have not writen to me. Father wanted me to write and ask you if you knew wether willie wanted to come and if he does to let him know as soon as possible and he will send the money forthwith by express Aunt Ruth wrote that she could not keep him any longer and he wrote to her some time ago but as yet he has heard / nothing from her and he is uneasy about it. we are all well and hope you are all the same. I have not time to write. Will sends his love to Aunt and Uncle and yourself. please write to me soon as I would like to hear from you all. I will write more the next time

 

write to father and also to me

 

the family join me in sending their love to all your family and except the largest share for your self.

 

I remain your loving Sister

good bye                     Mattie
