Dear Nephew,
and all. we received your letter two of them last evening and glad that every thing is lovely and goose hangs high in Michigan. We have a fine extra winter. Had a weeks of snow slush. Two nights it has frosted so to form a light crust. Warm a spring. Today bees flying. Well have bare meat yet. Had some for dinner. Dave is out to Lillies and we will have a change now when he comes back. He is trapping coyotes and the bill of fare will be coyote meat butter on two plates, three kinds of pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and cheese. Well Charley I think your pie is dough. Lillie Shuti had two strings to her bean last week. Howell is teaching school over in Washington and they live over there now. He is over today. Will go back this evening. Well Hickox was just in and I had a chat with him the same old coon. Comes down every day to get the Jap/Jax news. Well write soon. Yours as ever, Geo F. Coe
We are all well. Give best regards to all inquiring friends.
