My dear daugther Lovis

            How are you and yours to day hope you are well I or we rather have recived two letters since I wrote and mailed just one this will be for the 2^nd tho. I feel to thank you form my hart for every good you do to us your letters encluded it helps us to live we sure got surprised to read Arthur been to see you I am thankful he looks respecktful and clean I hope he will keep well and get along alrigth I shall write to him also this afternoon. I know I am behind answering your letters but I shall answer all I can and as fast as I can, yeas we got good sleighing here and it is still snowing to day so I suppose when it now clears up we will have some real cold weather the young folks the sure enjoy to sleighride there is a big number of them out every evening from 7 p m untill 10 p m sleighriding the go up above the Kings and starts down and their scooners takes them clear down beldow Wurstains you ougth to hear them hurrah and lauph.

            There is much sickness in our ward and in every other Wards and places theere were 11 houses plaged and quarantine the day before yesterday for measels here in N. Logan it is a mild measel this time as there is not so many paticenents [sic] in bed but they are not dumpish and hangs around I am sorry to tell you tho that Grace is sick in bed having the measels Gus came down last Monday I belive he come for me to go up theere but as your Dad is and was so poorly I could not leave him Gus said she was broke out some thing awful. I called her up yesterday morning she came to the Phone and I talked to her she said she got a nurse her name is Irene Grace been in bed sick since last sarturday I could hear she was weak so I did not talk toher only for 25¢ worth as I was afraid she get cold she said if she could she would write last evening and so I would hear from her this afternoon you know I have disscover that Grace is not very strong and can not work hard like she does without getting sick and that is the only way she can get a rest is to be sick, that just to be my luck to. how funny tho the children Dallie and Irene been both exposed from school and have not been sick but mebe they have had the measels in such mild from that it could not be noticed and have run around as it is lots of them kind of cases I guess Grace got the measels rigth. It is so much so that theere is always something.     

There has been four babeys born here in N. Logan since I wrote to you last here the all are Afton Maughn Moser, a girl, Vira Reader Nelson a girl, Agnes Beuhler Bergeson a boy, Mrs Israelson a boy it was born last Friday all is well with them all. I was not misstaken after all about Mrs Israelson. you asked me what Santa Claus left here for us you know all you sent us the box came on Monday afternoon after x mas I made a misstake when I said Tuesday. Grace and Gus gave Pa a little cedar chest full of candy and they gave me a pair of Galoshers and a box of good things to eat such as bread, buns, coockies, butter, cheese, a quartbottle of minced meet. 2 cans of Salmon, Grace asked me before x mas what I would like for x mas I said something good to eat but I did not think she take up on what I said.

My sister Lovis sent you Dad and I each a pair of slippers, but not your good kind. Verna gave me a cute little pin coushen it is made out of red velvet she made it herself Ada gave me a box of hankerchifs, a big fruit cake and a good size box of oranges, candy and nuts, Vera send me a nice x mas card and two hankerchifs, Sophie and Eva send me a pair of candle stands and candles to fit them.

I gave Vera a towel holder and a washrag holder. I gave Sister Ormond a x mas rite like I sent to Sophie and I gave Madeline and Lepryel each a box of candy. I gave Verna an imitation Boston Bag and Ada a pair of pillowcases like I sent to my sister Lovis

I gave Darold a big game and Irene a Laundry set. I did not send the Maderians anything this x mas as what I have sent 4 a 5 years before in sucsession have not been worth mention not even let me know if they recived it so I quitt when I could not send something nicer

            Now my dear Lovis for pretty sick do not send us any more things for I very well know we can never return your goodness to us the Dickie is alrigth but as you asks abut the shape of the neck on my dress I will tell you it is a deep round neck.

            Gee Lovis did Professor Hickman have a new suit on or was he dressed in geen pants and a coat? I know darn well I had a lot more I wanted to write to you about but it is time for the mailman to come and I can not think in a hurry what it was or is I wanted to write. I guess Joe is at Seaettly now by the way the stamp read on the last letter he sent to us I will enclose a News Paper clipping I knoe you know one of the men the will be gone for 6 weeks they are in Salt Lake City. Willie Nyman takes care of the Bishops work while he is gone and he got a hired man to help sister Kemp.

            I guess this is all but I like for you to give my love to your little man and exept an ocean full of love for yourself from your Mother.
