they have. Poor Etta - what a treasured baby it will be to her. How did Ellis weather the storm?.. He says he is doing well in business.. We're so glad...
Now, Harry; how are you getting along? You speak in your last letter, of not being too fit. That's bad, Harry boy, very bad... Ellis says, you seem to be losing interest in many things... Come, Harry, come... that's scarcely the spirit to face the future with. Buck up, old man. The little gods only hold your future on their knees. Things of most wonderful character they may be preparing to throw out to you at any moment - at the moment they consider you efficient to handle them. But you never will prove efficient, laddie, if you don't make up your mind to strive to be so.. Here's to your jolly good luck!
We have little Cousin George staying with us at present. He came two weeks ago today, and intends returning home sometime next week. He's growing a fine, bouncy lad. As keen as mustard.
"Adieu" now, my dear laddie. All join me in love to you one and all.. Ida and family included.
With love, and all the best of good wishes for your welfare now and always.
As ever,
Marieeeeee
