Have you quite forgotten me dear
cousin Lou - that you have not sent me
one line all these long weeks? I expected
you all would forget me, but not quite
so soon. I should have written to you
before this in spite of your promise to write
first. if I could have found time but
I am always so occupied the first few
weeks after I get home, in receiving and
returning visits that I have but little
time for anything else. Today happens
to be a miserably rainy day, & we have
no company, excepting those that are spending
the summer with us. Mr & Mrs David Owen &
