I had a letter from Hugh last Saturday. He always says he is leaving Broadlean but that day has not come yet. The others are all well so far as I know I don't know if you know that Matties wife Jessie is dead. You will know that Johnnies wife died a good time ago. He is married again to a woman about Jackies age. he was home here a few days 2 years ago. I have not seen any of the others since mother died. I thought you might have written then. Mike (as yet unidentified) is failing he had to have one of his eyes removed short [time] ago in order to save the sight of the other
