My on dear Lovis. I know ou think that I have nothing
else to do but sit and write. It is now 6 45 p m or one hour and a half before
I go out to milk and I dont care about taken out some patching to nigth so I
shall spend the time in writting to you the reason why I dont milk earlier is
that it is to cold ot go out to early in the morning so I do not milk before 9
a m. we dont have our letters come regular but sig sag and we write any old
time be it nigth or day. it is alrigth to me just so it is not to long between
the letters from you. I understand from your last letter that I
must write about the same to you in the letters well my memory is sure getting
punk I hope you will pardon me or rather bear with me it is liable
to be worse yet.
I see
the box got to Petaluma all O.K. I like to send boxes but I can not very often
do what I like, I hemmed thoose distowles [dish towels] a purpose by hand but
if you put them away then the purpose will be forgotten as you can not see me
sitting a sewing but will forget all about my basting. I admit that the towles
got rinkled upp and looked dirty and messie but the[y] were rigth new and clean
when I wrapped the meat upp in them. Yeas thoose apples were the kind
Isralesons gave me for x mas. Yeas Vera told me what a nice x mas present you
had sent her and Verna got her purse sent her she have showed it to me and is
tickled over it Ada told me Verna caries the purse with her where ever she
goes.
Last
Sunday I went upp to Preston on the 10 a m car I got upp at 5 30 a m to do the
choers and take a bath and got ready I walked down to the spur I got a letter
from Grace on Sarturday saying Darold was sick so I thot I do and see how they
all were I had not been to see them since last September. Darold been very sick
for about one week with a bad case of tonsilitis It scared Gus and Grace both
so the[y] got the Dr for him in the middle off the nigth they were afraid it be
diptheria as theere is a lot off it around but thank God it was not diptheria
Darold had, Darold felt much better last Sunday he sat upp and ate a good
dinner, but he sure looked peekied [peaked] and had feel away. I left of home
at 4,55 p m the same day and so you see my visit was not very long.
I had
good luck tho as when I got off the car here came Eldon Ashliman and his family
from town in their car the[y] were going upp to Eldons Parents, they stopped
and offered me a ride and I can assure you I was glad as I felt very tired, I
got home at 6,15 p m F.O. been out home and had done the noon choers, your Dad
been alrigth all day,
See
Lovis did you get the yellow or purple nigthrobe and slippers to match you told
me about? Theere has another new baby come to our ward it got born yesterday
morning at 2 the Mother to is is Vilda Palmer but who the Father is is hard to
tell the rumors goes like it migth be more than one Emma came down x mas and gave us 2 quarts off
honny and she cried and cried and I asked her what it is that made her feel so
bad so she told both Pa and me about what they expeckted, I or we had never
heard any thing about it before they sure got our sympathy, yesterday after
school Emma sent La Von down to tell us Vilda had a little baby boy,
La Von
said when she first came I got some good News to tell you I knew rigth away
what had happened, after she was gone your Dad said, the[y] calls it good News
and they seeme tickle over the baby, yeas so am I tickled that the[y] are
making the baby welcome, at the same time, I feel so sorry for Vilda and I
honestly pray she will bear her shame bravely it is a blessing she got a home
and the baby to. they are blaming one off the Fenskeys at Wellsville to be the
father but he denies, Emma said they are not going to bother him, your Dad said
yeas good reason why.
I sent a
small book to you last sarturday I know it is hard to understand it if you have
not had the Holy Ghost confirmed upon you but if you are seeking for to know
and read it with a prayerful hart I thaugth you would enjoy it Uncle Gus the
bishop left it here when he was here last summer your Dad and I have sure
enjoyed reading it.
Well it
is time for me to go to milk and feed the calf his milk and feed the cows and
come in and go to bed your Dad is buissy a studieng [studying] the scriptures
he is now trying to compare the Old Testament in the Bible and your History off
the World see if he can find out how manny years it was between the flood in
the days off Noah and the birth off the Saviour. he sure got a job now that
will last, I will finish this letter to morrow so goodnight my dearies.
