            your Dad, Joe and I, F.O. & family came out in the evening and stayed untill 11 30 p m and we had coffee and some of our cake and Oh it was good, it sure tasted extra good to Annie you know you know. I thank you a thousend times for this cake and for the letter it was sermon full of truth and comfort I am so thankful to hear about the good time the boys have had with you I pray all the time for the Lord to bless Floyd and you for being so good to my dear Arthur after all his follies I am so thankfull for the hope you have given me that you belive Arthur will be a good boy now and Joe say the same as you, in the last letter I recived from Arthur he asks us to get him out after a while we have told it to Joe but he says No and not for us to do that because he is capable to do that work and it be good for him as it will learn him something, so I guess we vont be in a hurry abut answer him on his askings, we will talk it over when you come, I will sure be glad if Arthur would take care of his Militari work and love it and keep it so mebe so he will stay and learn to like it.

            Joe went to town yesterday afternoon him and F.O. was going to fix FOs car I think Joe intends to go to Malad in FOs car I guess Joe will come home to morrow. I wonder how you two are this evening mebe you are to Church I hope your are well as health comes first and then other blessings will follow. Mrs Sandstrom (or Mary Gunnarson) called in here this morning she came to N. Logan for strawberrys and she invited me to a party that she is going to have soon and she is to give me word what day it is.

            It is getting dark and so consequently it is bedtime for an old hen like me so I shall close this letter to morrow morning.

            Monday morning June 23—10 30 a m. Well we are all upp and around Joe did not come We are all going to have dinner this evening in town at F.Os and Annie, I saw Julia Ricks marrige lisence in the Deseret News she is married to a Charlie W. Reese, I guess he is a Benson Ward man.

            I will now close with bushels of love and thanks thanks ever so much for everything, Your Mother Caroline J. Peterson.

the rose is grown in our lot.
