01073 1 Box 354 Portage Wis Augt 16th, 1882 Dear John Your welcome letter of June was received in due time, and I
expect you received mine about the same time also I am very glad to know that you are all well and that Wanda is growing and
thriving so well, have you had her likeness taken yet. I would very much like to have a likeness of her, as well as one of
her mother also I should think you are kept very busy indeed with so much fruit to care for besides family matters
