Dear Father and Mother: I will pen you a few lines and let you know I am still kicking and hope you are the same. We have had lots of stormy weather in Mont. this fall and the mountains are full of snow, but the weather is ? calm at the present. I suppose you have got your falls work all done up and are ready for to den up for the winter. I received a letter from Jane? a few days ago and she stated that the old apple orchard was cut down so is ? have to go without ? and apples this winter. I suppose Politik is pretty warm in Michigan by this time. Mont. will go for Bryan ? ?. I am a Bryan man myself, he is the man we want for president and if the people don’t elect him they will make a sad mistake for he will make the best president we ever had. I don’t think much of ? Bill Taft. Taft is the man the many poor wants for president, because they are all contributing to his campaign fund and are raising millions for to elect him. George went Idaho. I will close. Best wishes to all yours, Respectfully, Frank S. Thomas

Dear Father and Mother:
I will now reply to your letter which I received a few days ago.

I am well and hope both of you are the same, and all the rest of the royal bloods and etc. I saw in your letter wherein you stated that you were having lots of cold weather in Mich. We have had a fine winter in Mont. up to the present date.

I haven’t saw George Jr since last Sept and the last I heard of him he was in Western Mont. I wrote down there but I don’t get no answer and I don’t know where he is at present.

I suppose you have got some cider in the cellar and does old man mines sakes John Wellen come over as usual. [remaining contents unknown]

My dear brother:
Your kind letter is at hand. I am so sorry our dear sister Julia is so very ill, but I have been sick with rhumatism so I was entirely helpless but am better. Now George as to the accounts against Mary there is none but Katies and mine as I know of “understand” I have never had any information that is correct concerning Edwins charges. Mr Jameson Harriet’s administrator never even answered my letter written last July until this winter then he was in a hurry for his money. He wants a settlement at once. I can’t hear from Jims heirs. I am going to Cortland the 19th to secure the help of a lawyer by name of Wm. J. Mantany who lives in Cortland and he will help do this settling all right. I just heard from him as soon as I go and see him I will inform you at once what course he will take with this business. He is the very best one I can get. I have employed him years ago. He has been hired by our state to do business. And can be trusted. I have five hundred dollars in my possession of the estate money, the Jamesons will want all of the money. I am afraid. I do not know of as good a person to settle up such a mixed up mess as Mantany. He has been in the business for 40 years and in the southern rebellion war. Edwin’s charges are very large but Jenks has Mary’s diary that told very accurate about her deals and Jenks will be a help in the final settling.

From your sister, Laura A. Jenks
