My own and dear Baby Louise White,
We have
heard from you every day this week or had something you have sent us, I am sure
short of laimg [?] vich [which] to express my gratitude to you but I thank you
a thousend times for it all and I will never forget you in my prayer asking the
Lord to bless you I been thinking when I shall wear all thoose pretty aprons I
think I shall put the one with the pauay [?] or your work on away and what I
found in the pocket I shall use for Temple clothing if you been here when I
recived the parsel and cried all after noon thinking it will soon be a year
since you went to Berkeley.
Soo you
went to Idora Park I am glad I been there so when I read about it I know what
it looks like I bet thoose San Fransisco children enjoyed themselves I read a
pis [piece] about it in the chronicle that we got from you yesterday, Arthur
was so pleased to get a letter from you all addrasses to himself and as he sat
and held the rosebud you sent and looked at and blinked he said Well next fall
I am going to California. the poor dear kid, it is sure true what you said
about him smiling when it is hard to smile yeas it is very hard for any body to
smile when your hart feels like it is ready to break. yesterday he went down
below Smithfield to a place named King to work for a man by the name of Smith
and it seemes very lonesome without him here to day but mebe he vont stay there
very lone he did not like to go I could tell.
I am
sorry to hear about the animails taken or having such bad deasiases [diseases]
I hope that the rabbi dogs will be watched I think the rabbie is worst then the
foot and mouth deasiase on the account that when a rabbied dog bites a person
they are liable to be rabbid to I hope that none of it comes here.
It is
now 1 45 p m and I can almost tell what time it is without looking at the clock
I have been buissy all morning, after I had my coffee I churned, then I
replanted some of my houseplants, I guess I killed them then I picked over 5
bushell off apples, then I sorted the clothes ready to wash, then I made the
beds, washed the dishes and swept and then I got dinner and so when the dinner
was on cooking I started to write this letter but I could not finish it before
dinner
I am
glad when I can keep on my feet doing something then I dont get so lonesome as
I do when I am to tired to go on, when I have wrote this letter to you and one
letter to Grace then I shall wash the dishes again and then I shall look over
some curtains and saw them up or patch them before I wash them and get them
ready if or when I houseclean, I am trying to keep upp the work but I can
always find or see more work than I can do I have butchered a lot of rags this
winter and I have kept on patching so mebe so if you come home you will be
surprised when all my rag sacks are all gone but I know you will find a lot of
dirt and rags without them rag saks.
It was
sure good that it come rain in California we have now had two sunny days but
now the wind is blowing and it is clouding upp I guess it will as usual storm
for Salt Lake Conference. I like to have gone to Malad now when Abie is gone
before the planting garden time comes but I dont know if I can go or not but I
shall try my best and not say any thing to Grace so if I can go I shall
surprise her. I have a few more questions to ask but I wait with them untill
you have answered all them dozen questions I have before asked.
If you
see Mrs Afleck tell her thanks for remember me and tell her hello I feel so
sorry she got to be sick so much. Have the Hendersons been to see you? to bad
Mrs Israelson dont feel very good.
I am so
thankful to hear Floyd takes you and goes with you to church I know if you are
faithful the Lord will hear and answer your prayer.
I hope
you are well, give my love and best wishes to Floyd, I hope I can see him again
some day before I passes away. your Dad is pretty good he had a terrefick
apetite and I am so tired of having the coffee pot on the stove all the time to
keep warm for him ha ha I dont mean it.
will
close thanking you again for everything. God bless you and Me and everybody, so
long with lots of love to you my dear Daugther Lou from your Mother Caroline J.
Peterson.
