Traveled all these miles to see you and we intend to stay as long as you will keep us. We don't believe we will get one bit homesick for mamma says she did not when she was to visit you. I wish you would come in to see us at our home. Mary E. and James K. Kurtz." Portrait was found inside Denhart family Bible (2022-25-3).
