To: Almira (Peoples) McKean From: Effie (Peoples) Boyd (niece, daughter of Robert Peoples, Almira's brother)
Grove City, Ohio,
April 8, 1914
Dear Aunt.
Recieved your letter a few days ago and was glad to hear from you. Mother is about the same and my husband is getting better. We got a letter from Aunt Mary England a few days ago and she is in Springfield Illinois. She is as well as can be expected but is badly crippled up with the rheumatism.
Joe Martino got married but he has been dead about ten years and two years ago his wife died and they left five children. The oldest boy works in Columbus and John Martino has two of them and Nathan Martino has one and Mary Lee has one. Joe didn't live to very old.
Did Elex Martino die at your house? We heard that he did. Did he leave any property? Mother said she didn't see how you got around and did so much wook when your are so little. Who lives with you? Or do you live by your self. I want you to hve your pictures taken and send me one. Are you thinking about making garden? We have snow on the ground here today. Well this is all for this time.
Answere when you can
goodby your neice, Mrs. Effie Boyd
