Dear Sister. We were
greatly pleased by your
gifts X’mas & my B.D.

in wretched health, keeping
our attention here, but I
think of you all—& am so
glad to hear. Frank looks
young for his years—but is
not strong. Failing—He

does your Loving Sister
Bal.

Dear Lena: –
I am still tasting that delicious ham you send me this Summer by Mother. I appreciated it if I am slow saying so. With Christmas greeting to you and Mr. H.
Louise

Although Louise did not sign her last name, I am fairly certain that Louise was Louise (Updegraff) Wiles, one of Lena’s nieces. “Mother” would have been Lena’s older half sister, Cecilia (Scofield) Updegraff Hargrove. Cecilia and Louise lived for many years in Marion, Indiana.
