Dear Lilian:
As I have a little time I will try and write a few lines just to let you know that I am all OK and hope you and Hellen are the same and allso your father and mother. Well Lillian you orig. to be in Texas now for now here it isjust like the last of June in Mich. I wish you all could be here out of the cold and snow this winter for it is sure fine to miss just one winter any way. Tell your mother if she had have sent that box to me I would not have got it for I was on the train that day so it is just as well she did not send it We had a nice trip and I seen a lot of the country. A lot of nice places to live and some I would not live in if they would give me half the state of Texas. I saw acres and acres of cotton or where the cotton had been in the state of Phla, and I thought that it was berry bush until I seen them picking cottong in one of my berry patches and then I knew what it was. But that was the only place that they were picking any cotton so I thing they must have been just late getting in there crop. Well I have go to go to bed. Love to all
Frank.
