Dear Brother John We feel very grateful to you for your kindness. I am so glad you are coming to see us. hope nothing will
occur to hinder you. I hope Louie has got well that you the 'little folks' are enjoying good health. You see I am still here
in Kansas. I feel as I ought to go home soon but do not like to leave John with so much house work it takes so much of his
time. I am feeling much better the children seem to be getting along all right Kindest regards to the Doctor Mrs Strentzel
wishing them Louie the children yourself a pleasant Christmas Happy new Year' May Heavens best blessings be yours. Affectionately
Maggie
