She gave a pressing invitation for me to call and see them, of course I thanked her very kindly, Well, sister, you cannot form any correct idea how your cousins look from any description that I might give. The Photographs of Jane bears a correct likeness of her. She is decidely the best looking young lady about that part of the township, as a general thing she has not much to say until "awakened" up, when some of the motherly sound is lost. Did she send you her Photograph. When Lewis brought me to Phoenix, she came along with the intention of having their Photographs taken, but since, I understood that the Photographs were not very flattering. Sallie Harris, you can remember yet from old was very light, she is the same still, but if her tongue can't be heard and pretty often felt. We get along together first rate, I can tease as well as she
