Hoping to hear from you soon. Love to all. Affectionately Mother 1 Portage Oct. 23d 1890 Dear Danl Emma It seems
so long since I have had news from any of you, I thought I must write to inquire about you all, I hope you are all well, and
I expect the Baby Boy is thriving nicely. Joanna is still with us they spent two months in the country and the children were
much benefitted by the change. Walter is still in Philadelphia and engaged there as much as ever.
