About these letters

Samuel Andrews saved his letters. Copies of some letters came to my sister Linda Sanders and I through the good graces of Marian Andrews Edward about a dozen years ago and she is currently sending the remaining letters and she and her brother have given me permission to post them online for all Andrews researchers.

Transcriptions and some original images of letters written by Andrews and Carrick family members to one another are in this collection. Somehow they were saved, either by Samuel or just stored at his home, and passed down to us today. The images online are small but if you click on an image it should enlarge to a readable and printable size. Enjoy.


Who are the people in this photograph?


DeLight Birchell Andrews sent the photo and the names a few years ago and said that this reunion was held before 1898 at the home of John G. Andrews, brother of Samuel. John lived in Campbell township, Ionia County, Michigan at that time.

August 14, 1906

Cousin Samuel
    
     Your letter recd  We were very glad to hear from you once more was
sorry to hear that your wife was in poor health  We are all well but are
getting older every day   Mary E is with us  She is talking of going to
Kansas this fall on a visit   Oliver is still at home with us  It has
been very wet here for some time   the oats are all in shock but cant
get them dry enough to put in the barn  will have to thresh them out of
the shock  they are growing some and I don’t think will be very good   In
regard to the state fair I would like to go but hardly think I can go this
fall but if I can arrange to go will let you know and where to meet me
at before you leave home   Kate Hagens oldest daughter is in very poor
health  don’t think she will live a great while   the rest of the friends are
all well

                                                Yours truly
                                                E L Carrick
                                                                        Cadiz RD # 7
