| Transcript | Letter from Alex. [Alexander?] Wilson, New York, to his "Dear Sister", Mrs J.H. Denham, Ballymena, County Antrim. New York 16th September 1898 Mr Dear Sister, It is so long since we had a letter from you I though [thought?] I would write a few lines to see how you all were, the last letter I had from you, you were not feeling very well, and had a cold we have been kind of worried to know how you were getting on and how every thing was going and if Jack was still keeping on the improve and helping you all that he possibly could. We are all pretty well at present, but the heat here was some thing to knock any one out for ten days it was up to and over 100 to 107 degrees in the shade, I tell you every body felt it, and lots of people dying every day, but we all escaped and we are thankful, now it is a little cooler and we can enjoy it. The war seems to be about over, and I hope things will soon commence to get better, as it has been a very dull summer for trade. I send you Marion's picture, also one of the babies [baby's?] Len, they are very good and natural I think and hope you will like then [them?] and let us know who you think they look like, Marion is just 16 and Len is four years old, when she was taken, they both send their love to Aunt Maggie with their pictures, I hope you will get them all right withouit them being spoiled in the mail. Write and let me know how you are and how Jack and Jeannie are getting along and how your cold is and how you have been all summer, and how business is, generally. We saw by an observer that Annie Pauley sent us that Captain Perry is dead and buried and he had a great funeral. I must now close with best love from us all to you and hoping to hear from you soon. I remain your loving Brother Alex. [Alexander?] Wilson |
