Dearest Lovis The
contenuation of the letter I wrote and mailed to you Feb 2nd could
not be continued as soon as wanted to and I am real sorry. Last Sunday forenoon
I was very buissy and in the afternoon I went to the funeral of Francis Nelsons
little girl ad although it was but a child that was dead it was a sad afair and
I was all in when I came home. Sister Merrill, Miss M. Nebeker, and Milton
Merrill was here to the funeral and they all came and spoke to me after the
meeting Miss Neberker said her and Leila had written to you and their letter
been returned and Miss Myrtle asked me if I knew why you dont write to them and
Milton told me to send you his kind regard this was the first time I seen him
since he got back from his mission he is sure the same Milton.
Yesterday I
again wanted to write to you but just as I was getting ink and pen and paper
ready & to write Vera came at noon
and stayed untill way after the mailman passed and last evening I went to Relif
Sosity Meeting Vera wanted to know if you have forgotten your old friends but
wished you write to her any way. Oh dear, she is cute and I think she is very
good for calling in here and spend an afternoon. she sends you her love. I got
a whole hand full of mail yesterday one letter from you, one from Grace, one
from Joe, and Arthur got a letter from Joe and I sure thaugth I could answer
yours and Joes to day before the mailtime but I was cutting and salting down
the meal this forenoon while it was thawed and it took me much longer than I
expeckted and so before I had the schanty cleaned out and dinner cooking it was
2 p m and I thank you so very much for your letters they are sure a great
comfort to me.
I am sorry
now over what I wrote and told you but as you know how things goes on I dont
want you to worrie, and I feel ashamed to worrie you about my trouble but I
sure felt awful as never before when I wrote that letter I feel much better now
when I read your letter saying the people in your town been praying for rain I
thaugth Oh how grand I know if we prayed more and put our trust in the Lord we
would feel much happier than we at times do. your letter is true every word of
it but it will sure be nice when we or if we could all see alike. I must now
stop writting and go to work and bake skorpor [biscuits].

hear from her and then I vont tell her anything about you telling me o No
do you want me to send Jennis letter back if you do I will send it next time I
write to you or when you let me know. I have not heard about Grace being in
Garland she wrote to me last Sunday evening and she said she been to fast
meeting in the afternoon at Malad and was waiting on customers at the same time
she was writting to me if Arthur goes to Fort Sill on the 15 I think I shall
get ready and go to Malad soon after he goes and go on the train I have now had
two letters from Darold lately and he is saying he is saving his quarters for
to help pay my fares and for me to hurry and come.
Grace says
Darold got a toolbox for xmas and by that box he stands on his knees like his
Grandpa does by his and picks and theere is were he keeps thoose quarters he is
sure a cute little kid I can not wait untill I see them all. You speaks about
