Dearest Lovis, Recived your letter at noon to day wich you wrote last Sunday evening
Apr 27 I was sure glad to hear from you. Our mailman do not come now untill
next Sarturday but I will begin writing a letter to you this after noon and ask you a few questions
wich I like for you to answer.
Who is Mrs
B. and Ma E. that you heard from?
Did Joe
came up to Logan Easter? Does he write now? And what is the new subject? Did
you attend Auntie Blandas funerel? Did she got manny flowers? Did you get after
Bjornason as you said you would for given you such low marks?
What did
your cousins and relations looked like by now and What did Auntie Ida have to
say by now? How is Tom? I dreamed he was dead from the Flu.
How goes it
in the store now? chambarts I mean. have the allotments come? Does Ella works
in the store yet and how goes it to and from the car. have you had time to
plant a flower garden and have Pa moved the roses out. how much vegetable
garden have you got in?
has Pa had
time to fix anything on the cellar, and how do you have it fixed in the house
do you use the new door. I wished had never done that change now. How is Ellen
Ashlim. have her new baby come?
Do you have
to go to summerschool this summer, or have you found out about them hours you
spoke about you had to have if you have them or not?
Well I
guess this is enough questions for this time but I know you just to like to
answer questions so I know you dont care but Lovis I would like for you to
answer these questions dont you know I get lonesome and have not dropped you or
anything else of interest behind me but I wants to know things is and how it
goes now days.
It seems
verry funny that you have not heard from us by last Sunday we have wrote both
F.O.P. and myself. and I mailed a letter to you last Tuesday to. and I can not
remember what I wrote so if I write about the same in this letter I like for
you to excuse me. Do you know that us having so manny deaths I am just bout kollrie
[couldn’t find a translation for
this] in my head yeas kollerie is rigth with no joking. how are you?
Do you feel any better I hope you do and now Dear Loui I been thinking that we
can be thankfull that our folks died an honest death for when I heard about Bp
Hyers I recived some consolation in our trials. Oh dear me what an awful thing
for that man to do it almost looks as he did knew what he was a doing by
caryeyng his shoes and walk quietly so no one should hear him I pray that the
Lord will help his family and proteckt us all from all such evil and at other
evils now if Reenie comes you just be careful for he migth not just play or
fool so dont you encourage him in any thing that you dont mean and he dont mean
any one can not be to carefull. Mebe you and him will come up here but I guess
you can not get away. I am glad you have seen R.b. Larson and have hope or
promise to get a school in Cache Co. and I hope it will be at hime even if you
have 3 classes I think you can manage alrigth if you keep well. how funny that
the sun dont shine in N. Logan I guess it is a
mourning when theere is so manny people a dying and crying theere. The sun been
warm and shinnie here every thing is verry dry the wind is a blowing almost all
the time.

Dearest Loui How are you to day I like to know but I hope
you & Pa is all well. F.O.P. and Avery is gone down to Annies to work I
send them their dinner so here I am alone home for the day well it goes pretty
good I am not a bit nerveous and the blues I would take where ever I be now. Franklin 3 pm yesterday and sweed 6 pillow
cases for us on her machine from floursacks that I brougth with me from home
Bessie give me coffee & pie. I went home at 6 pm so I had time to get warm supper for the boys comming
from work. I am going to air the quilts to day and scrub in under the beds to
the wind blowed so verry hard yesterday and so the dust came in an inch tick in
the floor and al over but I thaugth I get this letter ready first to mail you
can not tell just what time the mail man comes foe he comes sometime at 9 am and some times at 12 noon and sometime at 1 pm . I see that the leafs are out
on the trees down in Utah well the grass is green here and the hills look
pretty and the Sabbaths berry bushes looks pretty and green and the lands where
our breadstuff is on looks veryy nuce now.
I have
walked all over F.O. Ps land and it looks even and nice. Avery and I have
planted a little garden way up in a holler north east on Franks land and we
shall plant butter beans and potatoes in a few days from now if we live. It is
to bed bad about Deasies baby dying will it seemes as nearly every family in
our ward is a mourning but the worst case is our dear Bishops family. I dont
remember if I have wrote and asked about the schoolbooks that we have home from
our school that Joe & Avery used. to please gather them up and take up to
school I think some of them are laying on top of the bookcase.
I will now
close take good care of ourself and be wise like Salomon of old pray for wisdom
and you will get it.
This is all
I guess I will hear from Pa to day it is to bad him standing by the mailbox a
waiting well if he waits for something good he can never wait to long so I hope
the good will come with Love to Pa and you Loui it is lots of fresh air here.
