Cousin Han,
             Why do you not write? I
have nearly quit writing, and it appears
you have ceased altogether. Well, the
reason I do not write much any more is
not because I am so busy, but because
I do not like writing, and if you con-
sider letter writing as great a trouble as
I do you are perfectly excusable in my
opinion in neglecting old Constitution
or Rhineschivissel whichever suits you
best. I am not particular which name
is used whenever either one is
mentioned
I know who is meant.
I am in excellent health at present
and hope these few lines may find you
the same.
There is nothing new or strange down
