My Dear Friend:-
Your good letter should have been answered long ago. But I have been so busy. I have regarded many of the pleasure for the work at hand. We are having charming weather. [?] fine days with the perfume of the flowers and grass about us. The poppy garden flaunts itself as I look from my office window What are you reading in the lull of the business Have you added “Red Pollage” or “When Knight hood was in flower” to you list? Both are good. I hear pleasant news from mother she is very happy in her home in Peterboro and it is her birthday today. I hope your mother is much improved in health. Have I told you of Dr. Robins death at Hamburg? I think you knew him,. I was sorry I never met him after coming to Orchard Park.
Earl is taking heis examinations] and hopes to enter Dental College in the Fall. He still keeps up his music and has an orchestra of his own which meets every Saturday night at 1280.
Do you hear very much word of the Pan American? I fancy it will boom Buffalo though some people think differently with the trolley passing the house we shall be able to have many people with us–I endorse a [?]please put it when it will do the most good. With much love,
Jan 19. 1900 Sincerely Louise Downer
