Cyrus Cornelius Pratt to Andrew and Ruth Fletcher, 1884 June 8
Primary tabs
Today mary and Aunt Mandana P. Wyatt are with us in Lincoln and I can
how happy it made you to see her.- Aunt Mandana is
hale & hearty as most persons are at 45.- Mary is tired out from the
ride, over 50 miles across the country. Mary says for me to write you as she is
such a slow person in regard to writing. She is full of glowing accounts of her
trip to Vt & Ind, Mich &c. and it makes me all the more anxious
to take the same journey.- I see no chance this year, my work is
& until all is well set I cannot be spared.-
We will soon put on a Fire Ins' Co like the "Vt Mutual,"
and the men think Pratt is law on all Ins' matters.- If the good Lord spares us
until
next year I hope to have more leisure & can then
come.- Aunt Wyatt wishes to be remembered to you all with much love, and so do
Mary & me.-
Let us hear from you as often as you can, Hoping you are still well & happy
I am as ever your Affectionate NephewC.C. Pratt
Mary tells me all about Uncle Dan'l & aunt Lydia, too bad for them in their old age.-
