Why is it are you just doing it because they are mine. last night I went to a large party at Mrs. Pinckard. I stayed all night at Uncles not long ago all the little girls are well. Miss Lee is not very well set up [illegible word] and lies down as far myself pretty well Uncle Tom tells me that MR. Mason rented Grand Ma house which you spoke of. I am sorry hear that Mrs. Graham has no house. I went to see Mrs. Sellers but was not in I suppose you received a better last trip I am not going to write a very long letter this time. Give my love Pa and Grand Ma an take a equal share for yourself. your affectionate son Fred Bernard. I hope you will excuse my mistakes.
