  My Dear Sarah
     I think you are mistaken about writing me before.  At any rte I did not get 
  the letter.  We are all well.  Tean's eyes remain about the same.  We had to 
  get glasses for Christina when school commenced.  She should have had them long 
  ago.  She seems much brighter since she has them.  I am getting along first 
  rate.  Have all the work I can do with three men and part of the time have 
  more.  This week I have had six.  I tied myself up badly to make the start, but 
  will come out all right if things move along as well as they have.  Ed worked 
  in the shop all summer but is at school now.  He is the largest boy I have 
  got.  He is a great student and very thorough in all he does.  Bess is teaching 
  at Allenwood, Union Co.  I will inclose some of her letters which will tell you 
  more of her than I can.  Cood (?) is still agent at Cattawissa.  His wife is 
  teaching the school there again this year.  Fred and his wife still live with 
  her folks and get along nicely.  We were all there for Thanksgiving dinner.  I 
  think Martin made a great mistake by not stoping to see us.  Do not alow him to 
  do so again.  Send Flossy here for a while.  I know she would enjoy it.  
  Remember me to all.  Your Brother W.O. Holmes
