Dearest Lovis    It seemes quite a while now since I wrote and it seemes much longer since I heard from you. I know you must be very buissy moving beside the other dayly work and I bet theere was a lot of work getting the Seamon family ready for burial I hope you are well so you can enjoy life. I intended to write yesterday but John and Ellen came to visit us and they stayed for five hours I got launch [lunch] for us and it seemed like old times, (not quite).

            We have had onother snow storm and rainstorm that have lasted for two days and nigth but the sun is shining to day. It is now 1 p m I been buissy all morning mixing a dough churning butter and I just get through making a stack of hotcakes, if feels good to sit down. I have both good and bad news to tell you but nothing that conserns us, Dessie Nyman got a new baby boy it was born last sarturday evening, Sister Vurstain [Wursten] had her baby blest last Sunday, your Dad was to meeting last Sunday all dressed up in his new suite. so now in the evenings he sits and tells us about Joseph Smith and cryes Well Lovis you know how it goes.

            I been going over to see Vera this week if it had not stormed I know she must feel bad being alone so much and even last at nigths Earnest is seen in town very late in the pool hall and the rumors goes that he drinks a good deal to and I can see him come pass here real early of Sunday afternoons in his everyday clothes in the company with Alick and Marshall Darling ad goes up and down the street pass our corner and stayes untill choertime like he just [used] to do before he was married, Oh dear the poor girls If you write to Vera plaese do not let on about what I have told you if Earnest keeps on it vont be long untill you will hear about it from others we should not be the first one to tell things like that but it makes me feel bad so I thaugth I tell you.

            and Vilda Palmer she is onother poor unhappy girl her Mother and Inez and herself came down last week and while I was making coffee for us I heard them tell your Dad how Carl and his mother is acting and the[y] said one awful thing about Carl if it is true I dont know that he refuses to have children and Vilda said if she only could be free from Carl she would never look at onother men again, Now Lovis what do you think about such and farther more Inez is to Marrige Joe Berger sometime this mounth and he himself lives with his Mother Inez is at the present staying with Martha Crab she been confined that makes the 6th of not the 7th child for Martha to much or none at all spoiles everything. Well now for a little buisness I could sell you  some eggs but mebe you dont like to bay [buy] brown shelled eggs as tony folks dont like the looks of them on the table altho the brown shelled eggs are in general larger eggs then the white and we get more brownshelled then white, now you can let me know after you talked it over with Floyd and if you want them you can set the prize [price] yourselfs.

            I have not heard if Grace been taking down with the flu I wish she would write oftner I feel quite worried and I dont know how I am or how I feel I can not tell if I am sick or well because I feel so very strange and scared about Grace. I guess this is all for this time mebe I will hear from you this afternoon, your Dad and Artur are fine your Dad seems to feel much better he dont groan in his sleep but very little and he dont cauph much and when he cauphs it sounds like it is just a habbit you remember I guess how he just [used] to cauph when he gets near the house. I will close with much love as ever your Mumsie, Cluntie, Clumpsie, Dumpsie Mother C.J. Peterson.
