My dear baby Lovis and son Floyd
It is not
my turn to write but as Wednesdays is the days I suppose to write on I shall
just write a few lines I hope you too Larks are well and as happy as ever
I guess we will hear from you this afternoon. We are as usual. your Dad is out
walking in the field a visiting and talking to br [brother] Hughes and others
and I am buissy [busy] doing housework and keep it upp in the good shape you
left it wich [which] I never can thank you enough for.
last Monday
your Dad put in two new window panes where you notised they were broke and
while I cleaned up the mess I cut my two first fingers on a pis [piece] of
glass and a the cuts are ugly and sore I got to be watching so I will not put
blood stains on every thing I touch for when I sweep or do anything the cuts
begin to bleed. you have asked me several times about Arthur but if you noticed
I have not answered well I could not tell you anything as I did not knew It was
3 weeks yesterday since he left Logan for to go to Salt Lake and enlist in the
armie [army] we never heard a word of him or from him before last Monday then
we got a short note from him saying he was well and was at Fort Douglas Salt
Lake City he says for me to ask Grace to send him some recipes of baking and to
send him his bunch of brass buttens that he forgot to take with him when he
left he dont say if he is mustered in the armei or not his addrass is Fort
Douglas Salt Lake City Utah Recruit Detch. I wonder what the Word Recruit Detch
means. I have sure done some worrieng before I got his letter and so have
Grace.
F.O. and
family are all well it was Shirlys birthday yesterday she is 4 years old Annie
baked a nice birthday cake and I went down for coffee and cake in the
afternoon. F.O. is still working down to spur it seemes now as he will come out
all O.K. with his payment on his place this fall and when he do that he will
have longer time next year to work and save up for next fall 1927. we got 354
bushel of wheat for our share from Bannock or from Arbon Idaho the wheat prize
[price] is low as it was a little smut in it is only 96¢ per bushel for it and
$1.5 for the good wheat. the wheat migth raise and it migth go down but time
will tell we are not in a hurry to sell ours.
Gus and
Grace have bougth a radio and they sure have a good time listen to it. Gus have
took a long vire [wire] down here for F.O. to put it upp and then some evening
they are going to bring their radio down and leave it for a week for us to
listen to.
We are
still having good weather and it is given the farmers a good change [chance] to
get their crop harvested. It is now 12 10 noon time your Dad is back for his dinner our dinner is
white beans and salt bacon, and apple pudding & peas & potatoes, of
course no dinner for me without potatoes we are going to a funeral at 2 p m to
day Old Lady Carlson passed away last Monday morning it is only 7 mounths since
her husbaund died. I guess this is all for this time so I shall now close with
ever so much love from your
Mother
