My dearest
Lovis.
Your bed
letter of Aug 2nd been rec and I am happy every time when I find a letter from
you in our box I am thankful you and yours are well and are getting
along in years and oblige to retire real early. [Louise and “yours,” aka her husband Floyd, are newlyweds; hence
the reference to retiring “real early.”]
your
Dad smiled when I handed him the taned News Paper you sent him. Arthur came
home yesterday morning all dressed in uniform and he is sure proud of it.
your
Dad dont feel as good as he did so I hope Arthur will pitch in and help him
work I belive Arthur have growed 4 inches latter while he been away and have
learned a few things and have found out that theere is no place like home. I knew that Annie Peterson was going to
Berkeley but I did not tell you I thaugth I let her surprise you but I see it
was not much of a surprise when she wrote and had you to bother to go and meet
her at the train.
you
are wondering what I am doing well I am buissy all the time I went teaching
last Monday and went to meeting at nigth Sister Merrill and sister Cain was out
and we sure had a good meeting, our astrican apples are ripening and I pick
them upp every morning thoose who falls down during the nigth and I peel a
dishpan full every day for to dry, I have peeled a big pan full to day and I
got red beets and string beans on the stove a coocking and I must press my
Temple clothes this afternoon and wash my hair theere is N. Logan Temple Day to
morrow and I shall go to the Temple to morrow for all that I know now I am
going with Br & Sister Ormond in their car we got the date all made upp
yesterday to go togather we are sure blest with a host off friends.
I
guess I shall have some cards printed and present myself at your door and hand
you my card an see if I will have mahogany cake and ice cream with you, (excuse
my jarshing) you know I can not leave home and go to California or any where
else far away. but I like to ask you to plaese send me one of Dr Whites Picture
or Photo I would love to have it.
Did
you ever recived the recepee parsley [recipe
parcel] I sent you? Theere is an awful lot off whooping cauph out here in
N. Logan Nearly every familys children is just a whooping I can hear Susies
children whoop clear down here Madaline & Repril have it to, Martha Becks
baby is almost dead from it, Verna came down this morning and she was a
sneezing and cauphing she have been exposed from Ormonds girls so I guess she
is taking down also and if that is the case then Lee & Dagmars children
will have it because Verna and Pearl is playing togather all the time and sleep
togather to. and so O dear what a mess off sick children.
I
guess you have heard from Grace by now because she said in her last letter to
me that she had written to you I guess Elvira will now soon be home so I can
get her ready for to be babtized and for school. There is going to be a reunion
at Logan next Saturday and Sunday for the Scandinaviens I like to go to it on
Sunday anyway.
Well
I suppose I shall close this letter writting
and go to work I get as usual a lot of jawing for always sit and write
but I dont care if I could not live but die from lonesomness. tell you Dr
thanks for his Love sendings and to send some more Love to us and not spend it
all on you. so long Lovis from your Mumsie.
