I have writen you three times have recevd no reply. I write a line to say that mother[1] is anxious to hear how her folks[2] are. We are all well — hav our grief as well as a christian faith calls us to do. We know it is all right yet cannot avoid wishing it otherwise.
Monday morning. It is a pleasant morning. I am full of business.
How do you succeed in selling our farm.
Write without fail soon.
Yours
G. Tomlinson[3]
