our photographs expecting on of yours in return, and now cousin Ellie we should be so glad to have you or any of your family to pay us a visit. I must close for the present by sending our love to all the friends and hoping to receive an early answer. I remain your affectionate cousin Sallie J Mowrer East Vincent. P.O. Chester Co Penna.
East Vincent Chester Co., March 9th 1890
Dear cousin Ellie I suppose you have come to the conclusion that your Eastern cousins have entirely forgotten you. But please do not censure us to much for this the first offence and we will promise to be more prompt in writing in the future. I trust you will pardon us for our seeming carelessness. Your kind letter has received by us and were much gratified on perusing it to learn that your father's health has improved and also that the Dr has regained his health. For it is the greatest blessing which Providence can bestow
