Dear Cousin,

We were glad to here that you had arrived safe home but still we were sorry to hear that you had so rough a passage. I hope that you will forgive me for being so long in answering your letter. We are all keeping well, hoping this will find you the same. Aunt Mary ‎(Millar)‎ has got her cards taken ‎(photograph, referred to as a carte de visite then)‎ and she is going to send one to you, and so has Aunt Jeannie ‎(Clark)‎ whenever she gets them. We are glad to hear that David is keeping well and that he got his work back so easily. About a week after you left a letter came from Ireland for you and I enclose same, hoping you will find it all right. This is all I have to say at present and give my compliments to Johnny and Jimmie ‎(Burns)‎,
I am, yours sincerely

Jenny Watson.

Dear Cousin,

Please excuse me for not writing sooner as my Father has been unwell but I am glad to say that he is better and able for his business We have had changes since you were here for we have got Mary Gray married to Mr. ‎(Robert)‎ Christie last September. She had a baby but it only lived for about three weeks. Mr. James Clark got a place in Falkirk and they have all removed away there. Aunt Jeanie and Aunt Mary are just about their usual. All my Cousins and Aunts and Uncles are well. We have very cold weather here at present whatever kind you have in America. This leaves us all well hoping this will find you the same,
I am your loving cousin,

Jenny Watson.
