I am now living 2 miles of Scottsville on the left going. In a Big White House on a Hill Big Oak in front yard large Red Barn close to House in fact its Just before you get to the Government Signal light on Highway 20. Maybe you will get to stop by to see me sometime. Husband's name is on Box so it will not be hard to find me.

I'm Happy to know that you had your beloved son & Daughter down on Mother's Day. it was I'm sure quite a treat as its so much joy to have your Children come visit you & Especially on "Mother's Day." too I'm glad you enjoyed Service

I am farther away now from Church than I was at Canaan Farm but I do hope I can get my Husband to Bring me out Sunday We like our new Home.
