CAMPBELL COUSINS CORRESPONDENCE
Dear Cousins:
I received Volume I of the Campbell
Cousins Correspondence some time ago and have thoroughly enjoyed
reading the letters. A letter of mine will not be much of an
addition, but it will entitle me to hear from all the Cousins, and
you who live far away from your friends, know what a treat that
will be.
Our vacation was spent in Tioga County; of
course, and we made an effort to see all the relatives we could,
but one cannot do a great deal in that length of time.
We have two boys, Charles, Jr. and Marcus
Seely, and they are live wires. I feel, most of the time, as though
I were being blown about by a cyclone.
While we were in Osceola, Father and Uncle Jud entertained us by telling some of
the things they did in their boyhood days. I was greatly amused at
some of the things and decided that Father must have been a "Reglar
Fellar" despite his assertions to the contrary. It also occurred to
me that Marcus, his namesake and our youngest, has more of his
grandfather's characteristics, than we realized.
My husband, Charles Blanchard, has a
responsible position with the General Electric Company here in
Pittsfield.
We are very pleasantly located here, but
wish we were not so far from Tioga County.
I am eagerly awaiting the coming of the
next report and think we should give Cousin Will "Three Rousing Cheers".
With love
to all the Cousins, I am,
Very sincerely,
COUSIN
EMILY S. BLANCHARD.
