N.J. June 4th 1912
Dear
Cousin Henry J.:
Your
letter duly received. I still have that
annoying complaint, The Rheumatism. The
remedy you sent to me—“Sal Hepatica” we have had that for several
years. We have a bottle in the house
now.
Today June 4th 1912, is my birthday. I am 60 years old today. I feel I am
growing old. I send to you herewith a
nice plain card of the picture of the Delaware Valley. Also I send another one marked as you
requested. I hope that
you
will be able to locate the places I have marked as you wished.
(1)
Back a little is the farm home on the hill of Nicholas Albertson
(2)
Is about where Aten’s Ferry is—or was when it was Aten’s Ferry.
(3)
Is about where the old Aten burying ground is located
(4)
Is on the old farm where Dirck Aten lived and on which the ferry was and Grave
Yard is.
(5)
Is on lands that belonged to Hendrick Aten.

That is about where you, Dr. Thompson, Aaron Thompson and I walked in
August 1898 and where you stood and looked over across in Penna. You no doubt remember it.
We are all reasonably well (except my rheumatism. Hope
you are all well at your home. With
kind regards I am very respectfully Nicholas Harris
