Dear Cousin Elvira,
	I forget when I wrote last but I think it was about Christmas.  Aimed 
to have written you for your anniversary but just have not felt like writing 
much the past winter.  We had not heard from Indiana since last Sept. when 
dear Aunt Clem fell untill last Nov. 20th when we rec'd a letter from Dale 
saying our dear Aunt Clem had gone home March 10.  I am glad she did not have 
to be down in bed a long time.  But her suffering was so severe anyway.  They 
said her suffering was about ten days, and her memory was poor for a long 
time.  We've always been so thankful dear daddy's memory was clear all the 
time altho' so weak in body.  Did you ever hear whether Aunt Clem got able to 
walk after that fall out at the door last Sept?  Cousin Dale never mentioned 
it in her letter the other day.  I've known so well how sad and lonely they 
are but she was spared to them a long time.  They were all so near down with 
flu was hard on all.  I was so glad Cousin Dale wrote us.  But we do wonder 
how Aunt Clem got after that fall.  Is lonely now to know she is gone from us 
all.
	We hope you and cousin Gaston have been well this winter and will be 
spared to each other several years yet.  We are anxious to hear from you.  
Grace like to recall when you were married and the stockings she knit to wear 
to your wedding.  She will be sixty-four tomorrow.  Is never very well or 
strong.  Have to hire a man now to plant our garden this year as neither of us 
are able.  Very hard to not be able to do such things but we've both been sick 
with such deep bronchial coughs all winter.  She is overseeing the gardening 
today.  Is warm and sunny.  Apricot and peach trees are blooming out.  The 
Jonquils are in bloom so pretty and the Easter Lillies are out.  The folks in 
general are well. Lillian plans on returning to Darlington early in April.  
She spends the winter in Nebr. with her daughter.
	Grace rec'd a card from Cousin Allie in Feb. while they were in 
Florida.  Just wonder how long they were gone on their trip.  Glad they can 
enjoy life so much.  Just wish every body could take things easy as they grow 
older.  The weather has been changeable this winter.  Some real warm days but 
several snows.  We have 3 hens sitting.  That is all we aim to set.  Feed 
costs so much.  Our few hens laid fine all winter.  Hope you will write real 
soon and all the news.  Grace [?] me in much love and congratulations to you 
both.  How are your children?
	Lovingly - Your Cousin Nannie
