Regina’s half sister was Margaret Jane Gruissy b 26 Dec 1861. Margaret married
Seth Morrison. In 1900 they were living in Sullivan Twp., Ashland Co., OH. In
1910 they lived in Medina County. This letter may refer to their move.

Morrison was most likely Emily Morrison, b 1867, sister of Seth B Morrison.
She sounds very worried. Do you know the back-story of this letter?
