country is buried. Tell Mary that I saw a grave marked Margaret Fahy, wife of Laughlin Fahy. Ask her if it is a relative. It was a very old grave -- 1700 and something.

All my friends are getting me film and I think I'll have about eight rolls to take.
I'm so glad you are feeling better this year. So am I! Not a cold even and last year I was sick all of January.
