But we outsiders are dust covered, time worn? dwellers in cities do not want to lose sight of you, - personally I mean. Why
do you not write. It has been a long time- and I want a letter. I do not know when I have written to you but that makes no
odds when you have so much within yourself and around you, you do not need us but we do need you. I do not believe I have
ever told you of my last summer among the Green Mountains with the children. Children indeed Two six footers for a body guard
and my bonnie Janet now nearly twenty years old. How can I call them children? Well we had a nearly perfect summer and I shaint
tell you any more until you write. Sister Kate is hard at work pegging away at the tough soles of saw Hoosiers or gathering
flowers from the plants she has trained in the passing years. I wish you could see her she is noble and beautiful in her work.
Mina is with her. The Merrills the Ketchams Davis and Graydons no one of them forget you. all have read and enjoyed your Humming
Bird . Miss Hendricks I see every few days. She is well and remembers you with much pleasure. Write soon to your old friends
and give an account of yourself . My health is better. Truly affectionately Julia M. Moores
