The time has again come to write a letter to the Cousins. It seemed quite a task, but after getting started I enjoy writing. I also anticipate great pleasure in reading the letters from the various Cousins.

My family is well at present.

The first of April brought a deep snow here, but it quickly disappeared and now seems quite spring like again.

Maple sugar making has been quite short this year. We tapped a a few trees and have made enough for our own use.

We have just had a lovely rain which we appreciated very much, as the wells in this neighborhood, were rather low.

Well, I do not know what to write to interest the others so will close. I am anxious to get the next report.

With love to all,
