Dear Susanna
I hope you will excuse me for not writing
to you sooner - as I have been very busy - Uncle Henry
is with us now, he is just eight weeks to-day at our house -
he is very poorly - the doctor has no hope of him at all -
he has got so helpless - we have to lift him and lay him -
just like a child. Uncle bought a place for $4600 - he gave
$100 on the bargain - but he has given the place up -
as he is in no condition now to do anything. My father
had his right arm broken in September - one of the horses
kicked him, his arm is very painful. I dont think he will
every [ever ?] have any power of it. Mother is feeling poorly
she has so much to do - and has been doing so much since
Uncle Henry was taken sick that she is very much run
down in health so that we have quite a hospital at our
house.
Mrs. Woodburn comes very often to see Uncle Henry - she
has been so very kind to him, that I feel very grateful to
her - she is in good health and wishes to be remembered to
you all. I hope you will write soon and send me
those photos you spoke of in your last letter.
The weather here is lovely if it continues another month
we will have a very short winter.
Please give our kind love to Aunt Kennedy - Mrs. Woodburn
says when she goes over to Ireland again she will stop
a whole week with her.
Remember us all to Joseph Girven - let us know if he
is still in the old place in High St.
Hoping you are all in good health.
I remain
Your affec. [affectionate ?] Cousin
Mary E. McKinley
