Cordelia Williams writes to her children. She writes that she trusts everyone is well. Her dieffenbachia flowers were falling over so she had to stick a pole in it for support. The nights have been comfortable and her watermelons are growing. She is still waiting on rain. She notes that she is "nearing the end of [her] 86th year" She is thankful Diane is doing okay, it seems like she was sick with something serious. She sends love and blessings.
