Letters home..

My Aunt Orpha had saved an old letter my mother, three cousins and another aunt wrote her when I was 15 and we made our first trip into 'yankeeland'--specifically, Belleville, Illinois. Of my mother's five sibs, all remained in the South except for Uncle Bayle. He married up north and raised his two daughters, Ann and Jane, there. This is page two of the letter. It makes me smile, so I posted it.
