Hollenberg March 26.My dear Cousin
I received your kind letter some time ago and should have answered it sooner but was taken sick soon after it came and have not been well enough to write. am not well yet but am much better - tell Uncle Isaac that one of Mrs Frankenfields married daughters lived near me and cared for me part of the time I was sick but they have moved to Montana now so I will not see them again soon Uncle Isaac will rember [sic] them he knew them when they were in Newtown I was very sorry to hear of your Mothers death and sympathise with you all. I visited her when I was in Mass the last time. Where are Aunt Aunt [sic] Ann Wheelers children
I must stop writing for this time as I cannot write much at a time, remember me to Uncle Isaac and to your cousin Carrie Mathews and please write soon I think I will be better by the time I write again
Yours with love
E. A. Stafford.
