"We are having a good time. This mornign we went on a big hike, we came to a farm and didn't know what to do, so we went on a road and came up to a lot of grass and mother had to carry Tucker. Then we came to some blackberries and wheat field and a carn field before we got home. Fritz."

"Dear Minnie - Well how are you? heard you are not going to Bon Point wish I was with you, and say if I live to be a hundred I shall never forget the day we took the walk. Would just as soon take it over again wouldn't you? Love to all, Dollie & Jack."
I hope that you arrived home safe from Philadelphia. I looked for you and your sister at the station shortly before I left there. Try and come to Lancaster soon. My next trip I expect to take to New York and it may be real soon. Hope my cards will find you in the the best of health. Your friend,
