Mr. Wm. S. Grimes,
   Arleston,
        Panola Co., Txs,
Dear Brother:
           Your letter came to hand some weeks ago, but
I have not had. an opportunity of answering you.  You must
not think my tardiness is intentional, for it is not.  I
was quite sick some four weeks ago but am up 'tho' not
strong and well.  I hope Annieliza has fully recovered her
health.  You have indeed had a great trouble with your
bereavement, and then having so many of your family sick.
But let us trust God, his ways are wise and his mercy
endureth forever.
        I am glad that you mentioned cousin Lawrence.
Am very sorry that he is so poor.  Has he no children to
help him?  What has become of his deaf and dumb son?
        I would like to have you to write me about Isaac
and Amanda Johnston and tell me about Frank.  Whether he
is still living or not.  Powell Johnston's family turned
out badly.  Not many weeks ago there was a young fellow
arrested here as a dangerous and suspicious character, who
said he was from Houston, Txs. and gave his name as Oscar
Johnston.  I can't recall his alias.  Do you know of any
such person?
      James Boswell, one of Laura's sons, is in Houston
Is at work in a mill there.  If you should go there, seek
him out, he is a nice boy, and you will like him.
      We will be very sorry if you do not visit us
this winter.  If you come be sure to bring Bertie with you.
I wish so much to see you both.  Benton's wife is just the
same, the rest are well.  Our relations are all well as
far as I know.
     My live to all your daughters and enquiring
relations.  Tell Bertie I am very anxious to see her.  In
fact I would like to see them all, but am too old ever to
get far from home, therefore shall never visit them.

                             Your sister,
                               M. E. Taylor.
