My dear Darling Baby Lovis.

            How are you and yours to day? I hope you are all fine and dandy. I do not know if I have answered your last letter or not but it seeme to me as if it is quite a while since I now heard from you but I hope you will soon find time to write me along and newsie letter.

                                                Jan 8—1925

7 30 pm I am sorry I did not get this letter written and mailed this afternoon as I intended but Abie been turning the clock back a half hour and did not knew it we been having the clock ½ hour ahead or fast so I depended on it untill Abie told me what he had done, Well I hope you will exuse me and I shall now talk and visit with you in the best way I can untill my bedtime

            your dear and interesting letter of Jan 5th was recived this afternoon and I was glad to hear from you you must be feeling much stronger when you can get around like you are telling me you are. I am thankful your Dad feels better as he was sure a sick man when he left here.

            We are all well and I dont mind the cold and the snow when it is not unreasonable like it was before x mas and during x mas when I could feel that the weather was moderating I got glad altho we did not suffer any form the cold but it seemed so hard to get around even in the house every thing we touched was froze and it give a chill go up your arm and it cracked in our hours as if a dozen men was outside throwing roks at the walls every one of my flowers froze and I had them wrapped up and put in Pa’s cubbert [cupboard] well I dont care now as it makes less work for me when I dont got flowers to take care of in this cold weather

            Verna came down after school to day and got your addrass I guess you will hear from her soon Audrey sent he a braclet also but it was not as nice as the one you sent her. The[y] are having partys and sewing bees in every other house here in our ward but I have not been invited to any of them and if I was I would not go I feel best here at home where I can [ink blot] the fire and help to do choers and I am always buissy doing things I am knitting a pair of stocking while I sit down to rest for to give Franklin on his birthday Jan 18. I am sorry I could not go to town to bay [buy] some little something and send it to Grace for her birthday it have snowed and blowed both yesterday and to day and I was afraid if I went I would be sick riding in that open bugge in this deep snow.

            I wonder if your Dad have told you about Prof Hickmans car it exploded and set a fire and how Franklin got his hands burned by turning some gas taps of[f] so to save the garage from setting a fire. I have not seen F.O. for a few days mebe if it gets weather so I can go to town sarturday then I wll see them as I got some coverals and stocking that I have darned and patched for the children to take in for them, Annie told me at x mas time they been thinking of naming the baby Clarc or Clark I dont know if this is spelled rigth but mebe you have heard that name before and then I know you know how it spells.

            I bet the school seeme to be a funny place for you now as you have spent manny years of your life in a school and in a schoolroom.

            Brother King have told me that Vanetta dont feel as good now as she did this cold weather is hard on her and so she dont go out much I been waiting to go and see Vanetta but when I watch Clarence Ashliman and other men walk up that street and how hard it seeme to be for them to walk I have thaugth I better wait untill the road gets open a little more, sister Charlie Nymans foot have all healed up and she gets up and sits around but she is unable to dress herself her girls takes turns to stay with her as the[y] can not get no one else to come and stay with them for a reasonable pay and they can not live or be alone. Last Sunday evening I went up to Ada to bay [buy] coaloil and they made me stay for a while they told me they got O such a nice x mas card from you and O br Hughes was so proud of it he got it and showed it to me they breated [?] me on pie, Ella is still there she got the cutest little baby girl they asked me to tell them of a pritty name for the baby I did not know I said Audrey or Leilah was pretty names so both Ella and her Mother said the[y] have thaugth of naming the baby Audrey or Mildred.

            Well it is now 8 30 pm I wonder what you are doing rigth now I guess listning to the Radio or else to a show or to a party, I am glad you moved away from that crazy woman as you can not depend on such persons I hope she vont follow you up if she does be on the lookout. Well I guess I have said a mouthful now so I think I better close only one more thing and that is that I am now not near as big around my stomach as I was when you saw me last and I am glad of it so you need not worrie that the dress be to small for me Abie tells me my face looks thin I do not know why because I am well and all that.

            I shall now read my girlsies last letters over and prepare for bed I sleep on the couch in the big room & Abie sleeps on the couch in the little front room the North room where the bed is is to cold to sleep in. how is Floyd what makes him so quite [quiet] give my love to your men and exept an [ink blot] full of love for yourself from your old Mumsie, C. J. Peterson.

I sent a letter to Grace today so I know you will know from her before you get this letter how we are. x o x o x o x o that’s all by by.
