Letter from Cordelia Williams to her children. She asks how everyone is doing. She said she is enjoying a hot day. She has not been feeling too well the past couple of weeks. She has some tomatoes growing but has not done too much with the garden. She said some flowers are dying but there will be more roses. Mr. Thompson is still in the hospital and Joe Holt brought his wife to see Cordelia. He will be back to bring his children and is currently living in Dublin. Her missionary group met at her house last night and "carried their plate and glasses to the kitchen before they left." She signs off sending love and blessings.
