herself & her husband will call to see you some time soon.  I need not tell you to make them welcome because I know you will Margaret Reid was the best friend I ever had I never seen no change in her she never forgot coming to see me I wish her good luck & prosperity she will bring me my plaid to I'll get it cleaned & what will fit pair or two of stockings I don't want anything more for I am allowing to go to see you next summer if I am spared & what you will have of hair— I had a letter from Johns wife last week they are all well they had very wet summer the potatos
