Nancy's grandmother writes she has been sewing for Nancy and mentions Tillie (Te Te) and Charles who is "running around up north." She speaks of Richard who is working on the Gulf Coast. Nancy's grandmother mentions she will be getting new neighbors and mentions Nancy's mother whom she took a ride with yesterday. As in most of her letters to Nancy, she closes by saying Nancy is missed.
