Transcript | Letterhead: Agency of Union Central Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati 884 Harrison St. [Street?] Chicago 16 July 1890 Dear Mr. Hall Mrs. Anderson desires me to thank you heartily for your kind presents. She says that when you come to visit this fair City in 1893 during our great Worlds Exposition which is to take place here, she will spread that same tablecloth & those napkins for good use, and will do her best to make you enjoy you visit among us. We have heard that your intentions are to visit America in 1892 or 3 [1893?]. Most certainly we will make you welcome & as far as in our power strive to make your visit a most enjoyable one. I feel sure if you are spared till then you will not regret your trip & you will carry home thoughts & opinions of the vastness as [and?] also the wonderful resources of this great country. We are having a warm Summer and it is very trying on most people, but doubtless you will have heard all of this from Mrs. Black. I am glad to say Mrs B. [Black?] looks well & I think is bearing up under our Summer wonderfully. We are not far from each other only about 30 rods. I am sure the children will soon grow attatched [attached?] to their new Country and not think of returning, such is life when young people come out here, they soon loose [lose?] all regard for the Country of their birth. We are all in good health save one, our second daughter - who seldom enjoys good health. This hot summer has been very trying on her, but we hope she will pull through. I suppose by this time your Hay harvest is on & you will be busy in the meadows. We will hope you may have good weather for the harvesting of all the crops. We fear you have had a cold wet season so far in Ireland, as we had a letter yesterday from a Sister-in-law saying it was cold raw weather. Mrs. Anderson joins me in grateful regards to yourself Mrs. Hall & family & that you both may be spared many years [over?] those you [love?]. Your sincere friend David Anderson |
