We mooved a way from Wallerville last spring and we are living on Coad Teague land. We have some crope corn and potatos and tobacco. Your Mas health is better than it was when we left thare. I will not write much this time for fear you do not get this. You must write sune as you get and let us know how you are getting a long. Tell the children that Gran Pa & Gran Ma wants to see them vary bad. Tell them to be good children. As I can not think of any thing else that will interest you much I will bring my letter to a close for this time. Hopeing hear from you sune. We remane as ever.
