Dear Minna

How are you? are you coming to see us this summer -- it is near Blanche's vacation time, and I hope she will come and bring you with her -- tell her she will be a nice young lady if she does this -- if your Mama should come she would be surprised to see what a large strawberry bed Annie has set out, she is out in the garden now hoeing the weeds down, the danger for her is that she will work too hard -- Aunt Sis hurt herself by cutting down weeds higher than her head and getting overheated, has been stiff in her knees and ebows [sic] ever since --

We have had too much rain and it has bee [sic] too cool for the garden, we have no vegetables except potatoes, it is hot now and everything grow --

all well -- I am very well but not strong -- you mus [sic] excuse this writing for I can scarcely see what I have written --

With much love to all

Grandma
