Letter from Lee Rector, to his brother, Kenner K. Rector discussing how pleased he is to hear from kinfolk in the cold weather. He tells his brother that Effie is welcomed to go through his compositions and papers. As well as the trunk, there all welcomed to take what they need; pneumonia is going about, he's caught it a lot and wishes someone was here on the days he was sick. So he isn't alone.
