Dear Hellen: -
    It has been a long time since I heard from you but you know I always wait a long time   I will try to do better in the future.  I was up to see

your mother

Mary Elizabeth (GANOUNG) WOOD.

last Sunday   It is very pleasant there where she lives.   We have been quite busy this spring   Have been moving   We are liveing in the old babtist church   It is quite pleasant here   Wish you could come in and see us.
It has rained most all day and is such a gloomy day   I was going down to

Ella L.

Ella LANIGAN.

today but had to give it up.   Rose VANHART wanted me to ask you if you ever got her letter   She wrote so long ago thought you had'nt or else you didn't want to write. 

Louties beau

Lucy "Loutie" (THETGE) SHEPHARD, Louie's twin.
No idea if the beau is the future husband.

the stripping room

Helen's hometown friend group all work at the local cigar factory.

Tessie

Love to you all.
Excuse all mistakes   I have made so many but there is so many talking that I can hardly write.
