Chicago,
I am going to sell the property for you and Vonnoh and will make it a special business because I think your folks want the money in the East, although the property is a fine property to keep.

My health is fairly good, although I have that miserable cough and suppose I always will have as long as I stay in this climate. Grandma was born in 1818, I think. I have the date marked down in an old map I have at home and will look it up and send it to you if this is not correct. Poor old grandma, I often think of her and how she suffered.

Remember me kindly to your mama and Mr. Vonnh, your excellent husband, and write whenever you can spare the valuable time to do so. I know you are busy and that time is worth a great deal to you, but we must write occasionally to our friends.

Trusting to hear from you frequently, I remain

Your loving Uncle,
JS McKenney
