Dear Brother,

With much pleasure I take in writing you a few lines.  We all are very well at this writing.  I hope you are well.

We are having very pretty weather and tho we have lots of rain, the weather are warm and bright.

We have about two bails of cotton in the field yet.

We are threw Gothesin Carn [sic?].

We haven't sown any wheat yet, but I hope the weather will be fairmitable [sic? maybe "farmable"] after Xmas.

We shall not kill hogs til nearer Xmas.

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.

Yours as ever sister,

Emma

Letter, to Emma Rookard from Ola Howze, 1933

Jan. 7, 1933

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

P.S. This is Mama and Pap's 36 anniversary day so you know how we feel.
