My dear folks at Berkeley
How are you
to day I wished I knew rigth this minut. I have both heard and read about the
big fire at Berkeley the first time I heard about it I went up to Wilhelms
yesterday I was invited to a shower on Loreene one Miss Ellis was theere and
she said Berkeley was on fire and it was caused by a forest fire and a big wind
had blowed burning stuff around. Well of course my first thaugth were of you
and I felt like if I have had wings I would of fly over or down to see you and
help you but I felt to pray in my hart to our Heavenly Father and I did pray
that you been and was out of danger and that no bad concequence may befall you.
I did not shut my eyes in sleep all last nigth worrieng over you I hope I will
soon hear from you and that you are both well, and how close was the place you
were living in to the fire or did it burned down to. The last evening paper
stated that there was no lifes lost so I took it for granted that your lives
were spared along with the rest I am worried sick before I will hear from you.
I am home

word from Paul Sorenson that he was to thresh the grain on Annies land to day
