I hope you are getting along well with your studies.

I hope you good health on a Merry Christmas.

Well write and when you can.  I haven't very much to say so good by.

Letter, to Rev. P.E. Snoddy from Sarah A. Foster, 1928

Gaffney, S.C.
February 18, 1928

Dear Mr. Snoddy,

I received your letter some time ago and have delayed answering it only because I have been very ill for the past two weeks.

I too enjoyed your short visit here in January and sincerely hope that you can come again in the near future.

You said something in your letter about liking to live in Gaffney.  Well Gaffney is a fine little town and I'm sure you'd like it here and I'm sure we should to have you.

I am planning to visit my brother at Inman sometime during the latter part of this month.  I hope to be able to spend several days there.

I was a bit surprised when you said you had been thinking of me for I thought you had forgotten me by now.  It is certainly nice to be thought of.

Sincerely,
Sarah A. Foster

Dear Aunt,

How are you.  I hope all there all well.  We are all well and hope you are the same.  We are getting along as well as could be expected.  It is warm up here.  Give my love to all of our people.  I had an awful cold but it is much better now.  I wish I could tell you for 1 hr for you know i always could say anything to you but at last I am to far to say anything.

Dear Aunt Emma I wish you would send me a ham if you have it.  I want one so bad.

Let me hear from you.  Is Louise home or teaching?  Looking to hear from you soon.

Your niece,
Ola Howze
