Dear Uncle Babe
I sure was sorry about Aunt Mag. I don't know if your address is LaGrande or Wallowa so I'm sending a letter to both places. I'm glad uncle Will got to come out there and I know Mama wishes she could have come but Mama isn't well and her age is against her. She has a girl to help now but the girl isn't very strong and won't stay if she has any extra work to do, so Roy & I don't go home much. Walter has to stay at home on account of his bad heart. They don't have much to live on. Well I hope you are well and getting along all right
Best Wishes, your niece
Mary (Whitlock) Griggs
