Letter 18 — May 7, 1869
“I received your picture and was glad to see it. Nan wants you to send her one. I will send you mine.”
I seat myself to let you know that I am well at present hoping when these few lines reach you they will find you well. I received your picture and was glad to see it. Nan wants you to send her one. I will send you mine. They had a concert this winter to pay for the organ. Lena Brendle plays it. Grandpa Ernst is getting money for Roaches tombstones, he says he has got about enough money to get them. There is no mad dogs up here. We lost coly last fall. Old Mr Elius is dead and Mr Everly. I was at Fanny's wedding. We have a good Sabbath School at Pleasant Hill. I must bring my letter to a close so good bye.
