Dear Bob. Yours 4^th is at hand. I have ordered the name ^address changed as directed. Was at your fathers Friday - all well. Enjoyed it richly. Charlie got partly through his work - feels easier. Girls at school. Father comfortable, but does little brain work. Amasa at Green bay or thereabouts. Mother the same [illegible] & good woman. Frank has not gone to Kansas. Is with me yet. Newton Chase is here: Other matters are going on about as usual. Nothing remark -able. Cody & wife are gone East. The Dr A. & wife are more comfortable in consequence (I judge) Should like to go with youref to Tennesee River. Success to you - good health & a safe return. Your Friend C D Bragdon
