Dear Sister Cora,
Love,
Emily
I rec. your letter, was real glad for all you wrote Hilda has
not wrote to me since befour her visit to Hornell. I wish she
would I will want her address to send the Xmas packages [ well
] I just [tacketed] Mrs. O. about Xmas I told her it was so
much better to name over some of the thing she would like and
she said well there is one thing I would like and that is one
of those long pocket books to carry in your hand with a strap
to put the hand in so I felt I would write now and tell you
it is not very often she will tell any thing the lot must look
real nice the way you have it done --
This is
the message of a postcard found among 7 letters and one postcard
tucked amid the pages of Eliza Burdick's bible. The bible
probably became her daughter Cora Burdick's. They are
not dated and it is not known in which order they were written.
