Dearest Lovis

            I know you will be expecting to hear from me by the time you get this letter  We recived your letter of Jan 17 last Sarturday and we were all so glad to get it we are sorry Floyd dont feel very well but it seems as we all got to have our turns in this world to be sick I am glad you feel better and I hope you both will have health and strength so you can enjoy life We are now having an awful cold spell here again I know if must of been 20 a 24 below zero here last nigth and this morning it is as clear in the sky as a crystal and the Sun is Shining in through the south windows but the icesicles is hanging to the roof and the snow is glittering like new silver.

            I am sorry you could not respond and do your part in the church last evening I belive you could if you had prayed to your Heavenly Father to bless you with the strength and with His holy spirit you got the launguege alrigth and so with this above you would be able to give a good sermon wich I know would of been a benefit to some one and to your self mostly. I realize that it was not an easy job for you to get the Relif Sosity Reports in a good shape inspecial when you had not had it in your charge from the beginning of the year I see you are looking for your pillows & the quilt well they will soon be on their way to you I have had them done for last 3 weeks, and as soon as I can handle the meat I will send you some it is now as froze as a rock, you will find the meat is no meat it is all fat this last pig got to fat but it will be good for lard so when you get it and look at it and tryes it you will better know what to do with it and lard will keep. we dont send you any thing for you to feel that you are owing us anything we only wish we had things to send you rigth along.

            I sure apricate thoose good advice of Floyds to Arthur it is really a shame that Arthurs caracktar [character] and looks do not corespond, I do not know now how true it is but Arthur says he is asigned by the National Home Guard to leave here Feb 15 for Fort Sill to attend some school I hate to have him go but I guess he will have to do what he wants untill the time comes when he has learned to obey good advise. he is sure a load of care now

            I am so tired at times it makes me feel sick. I dont think I can leave home and go to Malad or any were else. I see you are getting the Logan News before we do I did not knew about Mrs Fagelberg dying untill you wrote and told me, Mr Birdnae the Agent and ticket seller at the inturban station was buried yesterday. he died from Pheumonia was sick only 3 days.

            I see you got little kittens now to keep you buissy were do you do with them when you go out? Arthur he is well now and your Dad is usual and I am alrigth I guess only my head do not feel rational in this cold weather.

            F.O. and his son Louis was out here yesterday morning to see us being the first time they been out here on this New Year F.O. have had such a time he ran a sliver into the thick part of his left hand and it got bad he had Dr Eliason to get the sliver out but the Dr did not get it all out so it festered and bursted over & over it looked better yesterday and Pa helped FO to pick at the sore and behold Pa got I hope the last pis [piece] of the sliver out.

            I had a lot of more things on my mind to write about when I begun this letter but as the mailman is at Maughns I must close

                        so long with much love

                                    your Mother
