My dearest
Lovis,
Its 11 30 a m I am home all
sole along your Dad had some buisness to attend to in Logan so altho he did not
felt well enouph to go he just had to go any way.
I
recived your letter yesterday afternoon wich was dated Sept 8th and
I or we are sure glad to hear from you your letters can not come to often in
special when theere is such good News as it was in this last letter.
I will now
try to answer your letter altho I wrote and mailed a letter to you yesterday
wich partly answered your letter of Sept 8 I am sorry you waited two days on my
letter but I shall not negleckt this one duty again nameley to keep my letters
in the route I had before our company come. I did not tell your dad we heard
from you yesterday, you said for me not to tell this cute little secret to
anyone not every Dad Now if I had told him he would like to read it and then it
be no secret to any body you know that Lovis. if you want to write the rest of
your letter over and leave the secret out it will be alrigth or else not show
or let him know about this last letter I guess it vont be long before we will
hear from you again I am so thankful to the Lord for all the blessings you are
enjoying and are not deprived off your own free will plaese do not be to modest
but eat in the way you feel like and of all the funny kind you want even if you
make a pig of yourself,
I lauphed when I read in your
letter about you two going to Oakland at 9 30 p m for the want of noodles soup
and chicken, it reminded me of an instant of my own one nigth in October 1893 I
wanted apples and I did not wanted to tell your Dad about how I felt I had such
a sneaky feeling I put my shoes out on the porch and I sat in my stocking feet
well I knew the stores would soon close so of course I made excuses and went
out I picked upp my shoes and carried them for about 3 blocks in my hand and I
did not walk I runn as fast as my leg could go untill I came wheere the streets
wheere [were] lit up brigther then I stopped and put my shoes on and walked
untill I came to a store well I bougth apples and started back eating apples
all the way home and had eaten every one before I got home I runn back all the
way to so your Dad would not suspision anything I took my shoes of[f] when I
was a block close to home I caried them and I sat them on the porch and went in
the house and as I said or in my stocking feet I had an awful nasty sneaky
feeling and I acted it out to so your Dad did not noticed anything, I had all
the apples I wanted and felt satisfied.
Now dear
Lovis you be happy sleep sleep sleep to your harts content s you will be rested
for the days that is to come (some consolation now?) I thank you for the plan
you are making for me to come to Berkeley I be more than glad to see and follow
the plan I get lonesome to beyond the masure [measure] but I am sorry I can not
go and leave your Dad you know his ailments and if he should get worse or if
anything should happen why neither you nor I would forgive ourselfs and about
you comming why not come now for a short time and in the spring for you two.
you are well able to decide for yourselfs but be sure to have Dr Pher Wilhelm
to take care of you you know him and he knows you and all of us being our Dr
for so manny years.
I am
proud of the compliment Mrs McNair gave you. I will now give you the trade I
got for you, Amalia Bergeson told me that the Lewiston folks was raven when
the[y] found out you was not comming back theere to teach because the[y] never
had a teacher as good as you and the[y] never will have another like you.
theere is some more to make me proud.
I am
glad you go to Sunday school I am sure you will take some of that peculiarty
Spirit with you where ever you are or go that generally exsists in our
gatherings. You have never said if you meet Vanetta I need not ask Grace about
patoke [?—pregnant?] because I know she is not. I was going to ask her when she
was here but I did not needed to. du wet hwad jag menar och hvad och hur [du
vet vad jag menar och vad och hur—“you know what I mean and what and how”]. I can tell.
Frank Griffeath came all the
way on the train and he is going back the same way he came. Well Lovis to
morrow is the day when Gladys gets married the[y] got their lisence to day and
is leaving for Salt Lake this afternoon this Temple is or will be closed for
two more weeks so the[y] will be married in Salt Lake Temple. Will and Rose
just passed comming back from shipping their daughter Gladys off. I will enclose a clipping from a magazine
when I read it I thaugth this reminds me of you two. [long clipping about the
Pierre and Madame Curie].
I will
now close or else I will miss the mailman the Watkin man came and hindered me
he wanted to all the ins and outs about F.G.
hope you
will excuse me writting such long letter I feel as if it is not good mannered
for me to write such long letters altho I like for to get long letters I just
hate short notes
Well so
long dearest be good to yourselfs keep well and be happy
With
Love 10 barrels full to you both from your
Mother
