Clarksville Mich Sept 2nd [1894]
Dear Uncle.
No doubt you are wondering where we are so I will tell you
we got home Wed evening. had such a very
pleasant trip. left Harveys
Monday morning stayed in Bristol
Ind Richland Tuesday
night. ate our dinner two miles south of
Hastings Wednesday and took the balance of the day coming home. I went yesterday morning and brought the
balance of the family home, namely the dog and cow.
I got home to Harveys
all right just as they were washing for dinner in the PM. we went down to Joes. Cecil was home and said Aunt Seiza Tucker had
been up in her chair and out in the kitchen.
Sundy PM we went over to Tuckers and found Aunt Seiza looking so well
and that day she had been up and ate her dinner at the table with the
family. She was in bed when we were
there but they were both so cheered up.
I did so wish Minnie was there.
We staid but a little while and drove around past the place where I was born
and got back to Harveys and got our traps packed up before they got home from
that wonderful camp meeting. Aunt Becca
was not feeling at all well so was at home.
We have about decided to pack up our goods and leave them
here in the house and go down to Seneca Mo and if it seems to fit us we will
have George ship the goods to us and we will rent something to live in and see
how the winter uses us and will know better by spring whether we want to
stay. What do you think of the plan?
I am baking and washing today- yesterday I caned 5 pts of
tomatoes and 5 of plums and made 8 glasses of plum jell McCallas have so many plums and no sale for
them they are rotting on the ground.
Now I must write a line to Joe and Harvey. Please let us hear from you soon.
goodby Dott
