Box 1, Folder 29, Item 5- Letter to Ora Morgan from Ollie Foster (1906 July 27)

Covington, Ind
July 27th 1906.
Mrs. D.T. Morgan.
My Dear old friend:As Della is writing to you, I will add a little. In thinking of writing to you it seemed like writing
to a stranger especially when I think of Porter being a man of a family, and I hardly know what
to say to you that would interest you. Then as I let my mind travel backward a few years and see
you as you used to be and many little incidents came floating up and I find a smile coming to my
face and my pen ready to put my thoughts of my dear friend down on paper and you are a
stranger no longer. You would laugh if I were to tell you how many funny incidents came up as I
think of you, what an odd child I must have been. Well I have [[?]] very much like what I was
only not quite so quiet Aunt Dell calls her "perpetual motion"
I am enjoying my visit here with the folks so much. I find serve change in your father and Dell
and Harp but very little in your mother and Evan. Your mother seems as young as she did 25
years ago. I first came at realist that she is 80 years old. My mother would have been so next
Sep. She has been dead 10 years. I hear that you are going east in Aug. I wonder if you will be at
[[?]] to Cahtauqua if so we may have a chance to see each other as I expect to be there. We are
having a great time visiting your father and I visit first after breakfast and your mother and I
while use are pealing apples and potatoes and Edna and I while we are washing dishes or ironing

but Dell and I take our time after i got to my room Pearl can't go to sleep without "Aunt Dell" in
the room so we visit there till 10 or 11 or/1.
And have a good time I do not know first [[?]] I will return to the west. Perhaps in Sep and
perhaps not till next spring I can't tell until [[?]] and her husband get through with their fight with
Mr. Fester. I am setting looking on while they fight over me. I think I have written enough to fill
the envelope without Dell. I would be so pleased to hear from you Remember me to Mr. M I am
your little?([[5th 5in??]]
