Dear Cousin,
Adversity does not take from us our friends,
it only disperses those who pretend to be such.
Very Sincerely Yours,

France Ingram
Dear Cousin Genette,
Some friends may wish thee free from care;
Others joy and wealth,
Some may wish you blessings rare;
Long life and perfect health.
My wish for you is better far;
Than all others have given,
That when you from the world depart;
Your soul may rest in Heaven.

Dear Genette,
Had I the power to carve or paint
Thy future my dear friend
It would be fair and ever bright
Unclouded to the end.

Dear Friend,
Desire not to live long, but well,
