Cousin Henry J.:

Your kind letter of the ______ ult. duly received and read with pleasure.  We were pleased to learn that you were all well at your home. We are all usually well again at my home.  We are having quite warm weather now out here.  The country is now looking very fine out here, and vegetation of all kinds are looking good. We are now having all kinds of garden truck, and new vegetables and strawberries in abundance.  I return to you the postal you so kindly sent to me—I do not know what to say about whether any pamphlet will be published this year or not.  You see as I have said to you before they—I mean some of the friends out about here are such a queer set about such things—We will hold another

Reunion this year.—or rather try to have one—If they do not care about it—or wont go into the thing in earnest this will be the last one I will bother my time with—We will meet this year on the old Cornelius Albertson premises just above Delaware—you will no doubt remember the little village of Delaware, with the high mountain looming up just above it—The old stone house on the old Cornelius Albertson plantation, is said to be older than the old house on the Nicholas Albertson premises.  You was in and about this old house on the Nicholas Albertson home—you will no doubt remember its old fashioned looks.  A cousin of mine addressed the audience on Memorial day (see program inclosed)  I send you a slip in reference to (the) Henry Aten social event—We are all well at this time. Mrs. Hay is quite well again, all your friends out here are right well.  Kind regards to you all         Yours very fraternally                  Nicholas Harris
