My dear
daugther Lovisa.
It just now whistle 12 in
Logan we did not got up untill late this morning so I just got through with the
morning work I been loafing for the last two days I went to sister Johnsons
funeral last Sunday F.O. came and got me in his car and he went to the funeral
to and after the meeting we went home to F.O’s Annie had dinner ready so we ate
and visited and played with the children the rest of the afternoon and then
F.O. took me home at 6 p m and yesterday I was out teaching and last evening
Your Dad, Arthur & myself went up to meeting and now to day I will visit
with you in my imaganation. Your letter of Feb 7 was recived yesterday and we
where [were] all so glad to hear from you we expeckted to hear from you last
sarturday but got dissapointed.
We got
nice weather here to now the sun is shining warm through theese south double
windows and I now have the blind to ward the east half way pulled down the snow
is melting eveyr fast we did not have any of that blizzard or storm you guessed
we had we only had it snowing here for one day & nigth. but it came quietly
and then the snow did not stay on the ground very long it melted quickly you
wonder at hos school out here is comming. I belive it’s been comming fine
untill just here lately some of the older boys been telling dirty jokes &
yarns to the younger girls and so the Juevile Officers was up theere yesterday
but I dont know how it turned out. Miss M. Nebuker asked me to be sure to come
and see her so when I see her I will found out where Leila teaches I understood
she was teaching at Jordan west of Salt Lake.
It is
drawing close to the time when Abie suppose to leave for Fourt Sill but I dont
belive theere is anything to his going I have asked F.O. to go to the
headquarters and of the N.H. G. and found out some thing aboit it and he said
he would. Joe have told me to talke to Arthur and encourage him to Join the
Navy next summer when he comes home on a furlough and I belive if Arthur will
do that it be good for him. but as you know he has a bad ear mebe he will not
pass the examination. I dont know if it is the regular armie he has joined or
not but F.O. will find out and if so we will do all we can to stop him of
going.
You asks
why is it arranged so that we can not enjoy one anothers company why my dear
girl it was your own choice and you know where Floyd were practicing and of
course you had to live were [where] he was practizing but I hope you will not
any farther away then you now are any way as long as I live.
I am
glad you have had Mrs Arthur come to see you I am owing her a letter and so I
guess I will write to her one of theese evenings, how are they now and what
does Anna Faye looks like by this time? Dear me I bet Mrs Arthur enjoyed eating
all thoose swell things you had ready for launch [lunch] and I wonder if she
mentioned my name while she was having coffee? here is your Dad for his dinner
so I will stop writting and wait on the men I have a nice pork roast in the
oven and everything is done just to set the table and put the food on it I
wonder if you can smell the roast on the paper?
Well
dearest Lovis it is now 1 30 p m and so I shall contenue to write ot you Ada
told me last evening that the[y] have had a letter from her sister Anna whom
the[y] mourned as dead and being killed in the San Fransisco earthquake she
lives at Oakland and have been a widow for the last 7 years Ada said this was
the first time they have heard from Anna for 22 years. How wonderful that
husbaund of yours are anyway I am glad you now to music in your house your Dad
says Brunswick is a swell instrument. well
here I come with some more questions does the Brunswick play or have its own
records only or can you play records of any other machines on it?
I am
sorry our letters dont arive to you as often as you want them will ditto Visha
[or Wisha] any way when you write plaese exuse my curiosityes and answer
my questions.
Did you
have a good time to Israelsons and did you have a good time visiting the new
Montgomery store at Oakland. who is Mrs Martins? and how do you get along with
your Relif Sosity work? and do you and Floyd play spanking yet?
Well I
dont want you to worrie but I had a spell of nose bleed last Sunday morning but
not as much as when I was at Garland it made me feel a little weak but it was
not for loosing blood but I got nerveous I am glad my nose does bleed onece in
a while for what Dr Eold me, it is good for me.
