take [Kat?] in towe and get your pictures taken. By the way I must write to [Kat?] and see if I owe her a letter or not cant tell for the life of me. Of course I would not be angry if Gene named her baby after me on the contrary would feel highly honored but "Webster" is a pretty big name for a small child to begin the world with if he is not strong it might prove too much for the poor thing. So Grant is still "on the turf" you can give him my regards if you like. I suppose he still has intentions on you. I am sorry he takes so unkindly to me, I am only a cousin I guess and have a right to think a good deal of you if I want to and you are willing havent I coz I am sorry Jen is not well hope her present improvement will continue. With best wishes to all and Love to you I must close yours Mel
It is summer here now warm and nice wish it might stay so the year round Write next Sunday if you can
