My dear folks at Petaluma
yours so
very welcome letter of Dec 30 came here yesterday afternoon It sure seeme good
to get a letter of that kind saying all is well. It is now 12 30 noon hour I arose 1½ hour earlier
this morning so to get the choers and morning work done as I wanted to visit
and talk with you in the best way I can. Do you know that I can not remember if
I wished you a Happy New Year or not so to begin with I wish you a happy and
prosperious New Year.
I suppose
you think it funny I sending you that Book as you already had one before but my
idea was that this one would look a little better in your Book case. how
cammacal it must have been for only you two alone x mas eve and play Santa
Claus all to yourselfs. we were down to FO.s place x mas eve for supper or
rather dinner as we had chicken and dressing and chicken pie and so fort and so
on Frank and Annie had a beutiful x mas tree and F.O. played Santa Claus. the
children was scared of Santa Claus they all climed up on me so I sure had a
good weigth on me having the three of them on my lap. I see you got a touch of
winter in your country we sure have had it cold here enough to freeze a
brass monkey but thank goodness it had modarated for those two a three last
days. F.O. and Annie went to Church last Sunday and got the Boy blesst they
named it Floyd Wilber. Mebe you think that this been what I been kroking to
tell you but it is not as I did not knew what the name would be untill the came
back from meeting I was down to their place taking care of the rest of the
children. Oh no the sa [?] just as
god is yet to come hope it soon be comming as I feel I am not able to carie it
much longer. I am glad you attended Conference at San Fransisco and saw
Professor Hickman Did Floyd meet him and visited with him to and O see what did
he had to say to you any way tell me plaese. Tell me if I have not had a good
use of thoose overshoes you sent mebe you remember hearing your Dad say that we
always manage to get Sunday clothes but no everyday clothes and he says theere
is 7 days in one week and 6 days we need working clothes and their is one
Sunday on one day of the week what we need Sunday clothes and gets most of.
Well I realise this is true. every morning when I put your overshoes on and
look at thoose Grace give me I think how true this is every day clothes is just
what I at least needs the most of.
I am so
glad you mentioned about the Dickie in your letter as I thaugth you had put it
in the box and I had lost it amongst the papers I did not think about it untill
I went up and looked through the wrapping peper I had put away in a box but No
Sir I could not find the Dickie so I went back to bed thinking O dear it is to
bad I could be so careless. We got a letter from Abie yesterday he is at
Presedio he been theere one hour when he wrote he says he is happy he says he
was chosen out from 110 men to go to this cooking and Baking school because he
looked clean the Officer had said. O yeas heaven Only knows what a time I had
to keep him in clean clothes. I wonder who wash for him now. Mebe you will be
able to see him some time when you go to San Fransisco and Joe to when he is in
at the San Fransisco Bay. mebe himself will get a leave so he can wisit with you
and he be alrigth and not so you will be ashamed of him. I feel he is sure a
lucky man after all and I pray for him everyday on bended knees and I trust the
Lord will hear and answer my humble prayers.
I am sorry
to hear about Mrs Mann dying so suddenly during the holidays. I am always glad
when thoose holidays are passed as we have so many sad memmoryes during thoose
days and time. I dont know if it could be an interpretation to my dream or not
as I am dreaming of you real often now and I think of you always so it is no
wonder that I dream about you. O yeas thoose slippers you sent ot us are fine
the fit both Pa and myself to the T. Auntie Lovis sent us each a pair of
slippers to but not the good kind you sent. the pair she sent Pa was al;rigth
for me and mine I sent back to be exchanged so now we are well supplyed with
slippers. I do not remember if I have told you all we got for x mas but if I
hav not let me know and I will tell you next time I write.
see I sure
like to see thoose hucks & eyes that is written either by one side or the
other in your letters, and inspecial onece theere came one big Hook named Me I
sure think it cute I smile every time I read it or think of that word and of
the man that calls himself Me. Now plaese write some more hooks and eyes I love
to see and read them and you both. soo you been down to San Jose well if you
plaese will escuse me but be slow in baying rather put your monny in the Bank
and pay rent with or from the interest for fear you vont like it in San Jose.
yesterday nigth or this morning rather I awoke 1 20 a m and my thougths begun
to wander and so at times my thoughts came to you and this above came to my
mind. plaese exuse me but I only tell you what runned through my mind. your Dad
do not seeme to feel as well now days this extreme cold weather do not agree
with him or no body else either no matter how well and strong a person is it
effeckts you. it takes me 20 minutes every morning to dress as I put so much
clothes on me so to proteckt me from the cold when I go out to do the morning
choers Annie lauppes [laughs] at me
for having so many clothes on I tell her I need to take care of myself so I can
help to take care of Grandpa and a few more
A thousand
