            I was in Logan Yesterday left home in Ormonds car at 9 30 I will send you a clipping for you to read then you will see the4 Program you ought to heard and seen Professor Orson Ryan he talked and lauphed untill we felt as the whole building was shaking I enjoyed myself fairly well but I had you in my thaugths on top of it all, I went to see Dr Elisaon and he found my blood pressure upp to 200 he said for me not to worrie over one thing but let everything slip by that was the word he used he gave me some tablets to take and for me to be sure to come back to him about two weeks. he said for me to Congratulate you for him. he seemed quite interested in your affairs concerning you.

            Sister Laura Merrill came upp and spoke to me yesterday and she said she have had a card from Miss Nebeker telling her you was married and that you had had a loveley man and for me to tell you for her that you had her consent and blessings and for me to highly Congratulate you for her.

We have not heard one word from Arthur I will be so thankful if Dr White will see him or else find out something about him and how he is getting along. you asked me what is the matter with your Dad if he is drunk, O no he is not drunk he talks about you all the time to me but you verry well knows he never bothers to write to any body. Your Dad is the first one to read your letters so I be the second all the time so dont you ever fear he has forgotten you your Dad says for me to tell you he will soon get him onother girl in your place so he can hold his taxi job the taxi is sure having a rest and it will soon dry upp and fall to pisis. FO. Always comes and takes me out when I wants to go or need to go to Logan. Joe he must have ate in the diner when he had not opened his launch I dont imagen the sandwiches tasted verry fresh theere was some of the meat left here and it tasted like it did not have had salt on enouph, you tell me if it tasted spoiled to you

            Elvira is with Grace but she will soon come home and I will be glad to have her she is such cute compamy and she can help me do quite a few little things & save me a lot of stepps and I think it will always be food here for us all and some clothes for us to wear Mr Blaine and son from Malad was in Logan a few days ago and he told F.O. that the farmers at Arbon will have an immense crop this year if theere will not come anything to destroy it from now on untill harvesting the grain on Annies land is the prettiest pis of land out theere the wheat prices will not be hight but I will be so glad if we will get enouph so it will pay the tax and that we will have enouph flour for our bread.
