McFarland-Russell Letter, April 16, 1871 - Page 3

and if you dont send me your Picture I wont write you
any more long letters. Kate you said that I must excuse
bad writing so you must do the same for I wont promise
you that I will ever do any better for I could not if I
were to try so we both will make that agreement, you
must also excuse foolscap as my Initial Paper is not large
enought for as long a letter as I will write this evening. I saw
Miss Annie & Miss Noe Wintyelle at church today I guess
you are acquainted with them they use to live in Newton
I think Miss Annie is much the best looking. by the way
