W.A Chambers to Dear Grandfather and Grandmother
November the 1st 1858 Dear Grandfather and Grandmother I take my pen in hand To write to you, for the first time, how I would like to go to Ireland, to see you. My mother has told me, so much about you, and uncles and aunts and cousins, for I have so many there. I think I would, have great fun if I was with them. I am going to scool [school?] as yet, but my mother thinks this is my mothers last winter at school, as she expects to buy a farm next Spring, for I am big enough to work a great deal, I have been working and saved 36 dollars My mother has taken us here for a good [Page 2] while but she has lived so long They do not like to part with Mother ,but my mother thinks she would rather have a home of her own now, I think I have one of the best mother alive. Give my love to all Uncles and aunts and cousins. I wish some of my cousins would write me a letter Dear Grandfather Grandmother no more at present but Remains your afectionatea [affectionate?] Grandson W.A.ChambersClose
