Portage 28th June 1884 Dear Danl
Tomorrow being your birthday, I most gladly "write now" to congratulate you and wish you many happy years of health, and gladness of heart_ _
I hope you and Emma and all the children are well- I wonder if you are having as hot weather at Lincoln as we are having here nearly all of June [we?] have been oppressed with heat
[2]
Mary with her two boys have been with me for the last two weeks and they are able to make things very lively in my usually very quiet home _ this is a good change, and brings old times to remembrance in some degree
You would be very sorry to see Katie she has been much worse lately - and she now fully understands her situation - this is really dreadful - she rode out a few days ago - and called on me for a little time and bears up wonderfully well
[3]
I am very sorry for David he is much tried about all this although he dont say much about it his health has been quite good lately - Carrie is able to attend to all the household affairs which is a great comfort to them all and the rest of the family are well
Tell Anita I hope she will write a letter to me during the vacation, and [illegible]will write a little too, as well as her mother_ [illegible] I would hardly know any of the children now, and I am sure they would
