Note:
Dear Niece and all your fine family.
Just a few lines to let you know I remember you and hope you are all well and will have a very happy Easter.
Dorothy L. told me you are looking for another addition to your family [Dianna was born 19 April 1952]. If its twins again hope it will be girls to even the family up. There was a pair of twins in our line I forgot about. My great grandma Nelson [Dorothy Comstock] had 13 children among them a pair of twin boys that died in infancy [John and Alexander]. Great grandmothers name was Dorothy. Great grandfather [Moses Nelson] had a short revolutionary war record so if you want to join the D.A.R., I have the record.
It is getting dusk and I can’t see to follow the lines very well so I will close with love and best wishes for all. Aunt Amanda [Ellsworth, Mich]
