Dear Kathleen I am sure that you have been looking for this letter for sometime as I am sure you had a perfect right to and I think it was very nice of you to write to me and I was very pleased to get it although it does not seem possible to me that you are grown up and I have never seen you but that is the case but perhaps some time in the future we may possibly see each other in reading over your letter I see that you would prefer to breeches and boots so I think that you had better come over and live with us and I can assure you that you would be able to wear that kind of rig and I could keep you busy helping milk taking care of poultry and such like of course we do not keep many cows at present we have twelve as last summer was so awful dry it was the worst season that I ever saw but we managed to pull through and I am glad to say that we are all cleaned up and ready for winter you wanted to hear about this country Well I think it is the finiest in the world I have been here almost forty five years and am still alive of course it is nothing like what you are used to we have the heat in summer and the cold in winter today has been very wet with rain and a little snow and of course we shall be getting more right along now but you do not mind it we can keep warm in the house and when we go out to the barn or the woods we dress to suit the weatherhave you heard anything of Aunt Lou lately when you see her kindly remember me to her and say that I have not forgotten that I owe her a letter How is your Father keeping is he still working if so at what and where from what I hear of Chippenham if I came back I would not know the place Well Dear I must see about closing hoping to hear from you again in the near future Glad to say that Aunt Agnes + Uncle Harry are both keeping well Will Close with best love from Uncle Tom xxxx Be sure & put Mr Tom Cleverly there are so many Cleverleys.
