Clipping at top:  “Mrs. Laura Aten, of Warrington, was recently shaking a carpet, when she met with a rather unusual accident. A small stone was thrown upward by the carpet and struck Mrs. Aten in the left eye. It is feared she may lose the sight of the optic.”

Dear Cousin Henry J.:---

Your good letter of June 19^th  1905 was duly received and read with pleasure and I was glad to hear that you were all well at your home at the time of writing the same.  We are all well at my home at this time.

Eleanor Aten who married Cornelius R. Albertson, was a daughter of Hendrick, which said Hendrick was a son of Hendrick the Elder as we have it.

If you care to make for me a copy of the last will of Hendrick, son of Adrian Hendrickse Aten I will be pleased to read it.

Miss Sarah A. Ribble.  Her mother was Mary Albertson, a grand daughter of my ancestors Nicholas and Japie (Aten) Albertson.

Miss Ribble was born and lived in early life in Knowlton township, but for many years she had lived in Newark N.J.  She was single and for nearly thirty years had been connected with the home for the friendless children of that city.

I send to you some inclosures in this letter.

We have been having some very warm weather the past two or three weeks, and it has also been very dry out here.  We are not going to have any family reunion this year. No one seems to care for it this year, and no one seems to want it at their place.  We all send love and kind regards to you all. 

I am yours very respectfully                  Nicholas Harris
