Cousin Frank
Sabrina and myself, having come to the conclusion that our cousin Frank has forgotten that he has any friends in this part of the country. Have determined ***** sending him a little reminder to see if we can quicken his memory. We have been living once again in imagination, the scenes which were ***cted here last spring in some of which perhaps you remember you performed quite a conspicious past and many things well nigh forgotten. Have been remembrance. I have been in Reading all winter but have not yet had the pleasure of seeing Lydia Ann and I presume shall not as I leave Reading very soon. I intend to go to Boston the last of this week with L****** Parks (who I believe is one of your acquaintances) to stay a short time and then to **********and then back home; but not the one you visited.
**mmings has sold out and with Dane has gone to farming about three miles out of the city. It is ****** in ***ua. I have never been the place up they have both moved since I have been here so I cannot form much of an ***** about home.
Sabrina is about sick but perhaps she will be better able to inform you as to her state of health than myself. She has been maky molasses candy today would you not like a piece it is very nice. We have *** *apped **** ********** to go with it.
If now you think I have done my share toward bring ourselves to remembrance. I will bring this ***ittle to a close. Please remember me to your father and mother. from cousin Jennie.
PS I see Sabrina does not intend that I have have a share.
Dear Frank In your answer to this but I hope you will disappoint
I am sick today and have been ever since last week Tuesday. I think I was threaten with a fever and it has left me with a very bad cough. Some nights I cough most all night. I don�t feel much like writing you my health is so poor. But that ant all do look at the grammatical letter that is written beore this, but never mind if I make any grammatical erroour you may correct them. Jennie has taken her work and goin in to see Miss Harriet Judkin, I suppose you remember the lady. Do write as soon as you receive this so Jennie can injoy reading it. She will be here and to Boston a week or two so don�t forget to write.
Where is your Aunt Henrietta, I have not heard from her this winter. Is Aunt Mary teaching now? Give my love to all. Come in tonight and have a good chat with Jennie, Jonathans health is very poor this winter. He has work paper hanging most of the time.
