My dearest Louise
It is
almost bedtime for me but before I go to bed I shall write to you. Your letter
written in the evening of the 22nd was recived this afternoon and
both Pa and I recived a letter from Joe to this afternoon I am grateful to you
all for making it possible for me to go to Berkley Well to day is the first
time your Dad have said for me to go since the question came on or up Your Dad
reads yours to days letter and thats the first time he have has known about it
I mean about it he had known all the time how I did not knew if I could go or
not and he has said always when I have talked to him about going. Oh No
visst inte det [No, certainly not the]. But he said this eveing for me to get ready and go and he
thinks he will get along for a couple of weeks without me.
Yours to
days letter was an answer to some of the letter I wrote last evening before I
went to Church. yeas dear Loui I was alone as you thaugth I was when you was
writting to me but I was not writting I was reading in the paper you sent us
about the fire O dear I know it must off been an awful blaze and I surely feel
bad to think you in your condition looked at it and I hope the Lord will hear
and answer our prayers for instant when the flames at Berkeley was eating their
way toward All Souls Church, on Cedar an Spruce Streets the houses on each side
of the structure were ablaze. Inside the Church knelt a gray-haired woman
praying The roof of the church caught fire Still she prayed. Efforts were made
to lead her from the building. She refused to end her devotion. Within a few
moments the fire on the roof died down and the Church stands to day,
practically unharmed. and then it goes on and tells how those valuable Books
and papers were destroyed after the Rector of the Church had caried them to the
street if he have had the faith like that Lady and left theese things in the
Church the would not been burned, Now say that the Lord dont live and hears and
answers prayers, I hope and pray that the Lord will help us to have more faith
in Him. This I was reading when I was alone last Sarturday evening.
Well now I
guess you wants me to take your trunk with me and so you must let me know about
what you like for me to put in the trunk, all I will need for myself is a
satsel. I dont think I can leave here before the 4th or 5th
of Oct because it will now take a few days for this to reach you and then a few
days before I hear from you but I shall write again soon and then drop a card
to you a day or so before I leave, theere is much more in your letter I like or
should answer you on but as if all goes well we will soon be able to talk to
one another and then you can ask me all kinds of questions and I shall answer
them to the best of my knowlege. Joe says in his to days letter he have sent
you monny and for me to be sure to be in Calif noon to morrow. How worred your Mother in law
must have been, well I know and can sympatize with every Mother only I in my
humble way can not show it in work like I should or would like to. so good
nigth will finish this in the morning.
