Dear Mary, received your card. Was just about writing one to you the night before I got it when someone came in & I didn't get it done. It seemed so funny & next morning I got yours. Got it I kept them from traveling to gather [?] again. I was very sorry to hear of your Mother being so sick. I wish that I could run in & see you all. We are all well. Having lovely fine weather but rather cold. Essie & Murial are writing every day. You know they are lazy about writing. Will has not got home yet. We [?] expect him the last of the week. We are nearly all done house cleaning. Love to all from Aunt Nottie [?]
