	34 West Row Stockton on Tees Dec 29th 1903 Dear Uncle,      I hope this letter will find you I accidentally saw a paragraph in the paper about you and it is with great pleasure I wish to congratulate you on your last Birthday and wish you many years of health and happiness, it is years since I heard of any of my relations and had no idea that I had an Uncle
	I still remember when a child being with my [pa's] mother at your house in London. I have been married over thirty years to one of the best wifes, have four sons and one daughter the eldest 29 and the youngest nearly 20. I am not sure of this address finding you or I would write more, it is a dull Christmas no snow this winter yet and trade here is quiet which it always is at this time of the year. I have sent a paper and if I had your proper
	address would be glad to write you and give you any news about this part that I can wishing you and your family all a very happy new year and love from all. I remain Your Affectionate Nephew Thos. Howard 34 West Row Stockton-on-Tees Durham
