Letter from Cordelia Williams to her children. She writes that she hopes everyone is well and happy. Autumn is beginning tomorrow.

She retells the story of the two young boys who got into a car accident. She reminds them to drive safely. She again mentions that taxes are rising and that her watermelons are doing well.
