Metropolitan Hotel, Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 4, 1914. Dear Uncle John: I am sending you under separate cover a little
picture I came across when I was in Denver. It is a picture of the dear little wind flowers I remember so well when I was
a child in Wisconsin. I have never seen them anywhere else, and they looked so natural that I could almost smell their delicate
fragrance. My memory of them is that they were the very earliest of all the spring flowers, and I was delighted when I found
my first wind flower, every spring. They may not be so much of a treat to you, as perhaps you have found them growing in
other localities, but I know you are fond of them, for I notice you mention them specially in your book about your boyhood
in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a lovely state, and I remember many beautiful flowers that were familiar to me in my childhood,
that I have never seen anywhere else. I hear of you, and Wanda and Helen, and all your grandsons, from Mother, and am glad
to know you are all well. I am working very hard, and haven't much time to think about anything but my work. But I am with
nice people, and like my work. With my love, and best wishes for the approaching Christmas season, and all the New Year,
I remain, Your affectionate niece, Cecilia Galloway05893
