Dennison July 3, 1894 Dear Sister,
Received your card Friday eve. Glad to hear from you. You must had a good time waiting at Ferrysburg. We are all well and hope you are the same. I and Will drove to G.R. Saturday Morning and came home Sunday night. Will got a new suit and we had a very nice time of course. We drove Dick. Kate is at home today making Sadies dress. She, Kate, is going to Herrington tonight. Miss Wetherbee is going to be married and Kate is going to be brides maid. John and Jule is coming home to night. The Factory is going to shut down the rest of the week. They will stay down till Sunday.
Well, tomorrow is the 4th – has come at last. Wish it was over. Well I have given up going to Holland. The trains don’t make good connections. We will go down some Sunday before you come back. I see by the paper, Miss Goodenow is going to read the Declaration of Independence at G. Haven. Are you coming. I hope you will. I will be there. About everyone around here is going.
Denis Malone is at home. He looks fine. Jim Golden is home from Detroit. Ma has a very sore finger. Well I guess I will closes for I have to send this on the mail this morning. Hoping to see you at Grand Haven the 4th. Good By. Love from all the folks.
