My dear dear Daughter Lovis.
It is now
Sunday afternoon I presume you are out for a joyride. It is awful quite here to
day it is quarterly Conference for Cache Stake in Logan and I belive the people
from this place all went to the Conference but your Dad and I. I know the are
having good meetings . Melvin Ballard and some other man by the name of
Richards was to come up from Salt
Lake
I was sick and in bed the most of
the time yesterday. I took down with an awful spell with my stomach the nigth
before last and it lasted for 26 hours. I feel better this afternoon but I am
weak as the old saying is weak as a rat. I dont know what caused it. F.O.
thaugth I acted as if got poisoned because I had a bad headacke with it.
I am sorry to hear you having the
toothache. I know what toothacke feels like so I can sympathise with you I hope
you can soon get better.
I wonder how your cottage meeting
turned out if you had one or not. Presindent Henderson sure been given you some
very good advise you can feel when he speaks that he speaks the thruth it gives
satisfacktion and not confusion he us sure a great man and I wish that every
man in our church was like him who bears the Hole Preisthood. then theere would
not be so manny people go astray.
I recived your letter yesterday
afternoon wich was dated June 13 and I thank you my dear Lovis for remember us
with a letter often. I see you are yet undicided what to do and I will sure
write and ask Grace about if she wants a store girl and that you are Johnnie on
the spot it will sure please her I know.
Well my dearest Lovis I have
thaugth and thaugth your Marrige affair over and over. I know you love the Principles
of the Gospel better than anything else that is why it is hard for you to
decide and I am sure you with your faith and knowledge neither will or can be
happy if marrying a person who is as apposite as the liking of a mountain to be
moved so take Br Hendersons advise or counsular for the are vise and in
counsular is safety. Take your time and everything will be alrigth.
Now my dearest Lovis mebe it vont
be so very long before you will be back to us I will sure be glad to see you
and I hope your Dad will take time to put up the screens and to tack up the
cloth in the ceiling in the bedroom pantry and the little hall and also to
paint so I can go to work and clean.
Your Dad have said for me to wait
untill the hay was cut and in. Joe he cut the hay and raked it and Pa and Joe
hauled in two loads last Friday and F.O. and Joe hauled in all the rest last
Saturday. F.O. came out last Friday after school and hauled one big load and
F.O. stayed out of school yesterday morning to help Pa so just as the last load
was unloaded a big rain storm came and it rained the rest of the afternoon and
nearly all nigth last nigth it has been a very pleasant day to day. We sure got
a big crop of hay for being the first crop and cut rather early.
Your Dad been buissy taking care of
a newborn calf and to his surprise it was a heifer calf it is FOs black cow
that came in and it seems as we will have better luck with this cow and the
calf. I guess it is because it is not altogather ours. Annie went to Wellsville
last evening theere was going to be a shower on Gorgia. Annie did not say
anything about it to me but F.O. told me he said he would not stay for any d—m
shower just take Annie over there. I almost belive that F.O. & Joe went up
to Malad last night for else this morning. I dont know for sure now but I will
know before I have a change to mail this letter.
Joe got all cleaned and dressed up
and went with F.O. yesterday afternoon after our mailman been here. The wanted
to see what the mail was theere was a letter from Grace with a check enclosed
for a ticket for Joe to go to Malad on the train. F.O. got me to Phone to Grace
an ask them to come down and get Joe because he said he could not depend on his
car if it would hold so Grace said she could not come so she sent a check.
those two big lumps of Gold Gust & Grace.
Grace wrote and said Abie was
working in the beets at St John Logan
you asked me what Registerd letter
I sent. I must of said a Registerd letter when it was Special Delivery letter I
sent. I mailed it on a Friday so you should get it on Sunday. I enclosed a
letter that I got from Joe so you could read it in time for you to know Joes
wheere abouts. before he started for home. I feel at times that I bother and
bother to much so I confuses both you and others.
I guess theere ill now soon be a June
wedding here in N. Logan Vilda & Carl is going to be married next
Wednesday. and I think theere will soon be another follow by the looks of
Lorcens Wilhelms hand she now wears a swell dimond ring.
It is now time for me to go and
feed the pullet hens and the chickens in general so I will quitt writting for
now and continue and close when I have hard from Jenson and if Joe went to
Malad and how he got there.
Monday, June 18—1923. My dear Lovis
I just got in the houses from being out pulling weeds and so I shall now while
I am resting write to finish this letter. F.O. took Joe to Malad yesterday
morning and got back here at 8 p m. F.O. just stayed in Malad long enough to
eat dinner. F.O. had Arthur with him back. Grace shall take Joe back here next
Wednesday and when she return to Malad Arthur is going back to Malad with her
he says he got a job there for a man to schoer [chore] around. Arthur looks good now to what he did when he left
here.
I wrote a letter to Jenson this
morning inquiring about your check and Arthur took the letter down to the
Office. Arthur had not been gone verry long untill Sister Ormond came down and
said I was wanted at the Phone so I went upp to Ormonds and Suprentendent
Larson told Arthur he had sent the check to you last week but it had not
hardely had time to get to you yet. I sure hope you will get it and so it is
not lost. tell us when you write if you have recived it or not.
I got some more news. Mrs Maxell is
going to be married to Howard Mc Kinnies Father, and Mrs Hugei who lives up at
the AC by the side of Cooleys died last sarturday she died from an operation
for an ruptured naval.
Well my dearest Lovis I hope I have
not wrote anything that will offend you. Mebe I will hear from you this
afternoon and if theere is anything you want me to answer or quick will write
again to morrow. Have you seen Arthurs since she came to Oakland
I wrote a letter to Grace this
morning and Abie mailed it for me in town so I think she will get it to nigth.
I asked her about what you said I should so I guess it vont be long before you
get an answer on it.
I will now close with much Love. I
am as ever the same old fashon Ma
Caroline
J. Peterson
I feel a lot stronger today.
