Dear Baby Lovis
It is 8 p m
and I shall write and answer your letter that I recived last week. I am glad to
hear you are all as well as you are. We have had a very rouph [rough] day here
to day—the wind begin to blow this morning at 4 a m and it kept on untill 9 a m
then it begun to rain just as hard as I ever saw it rain and so the wind and
this rain why it beated on thoose kitchen windows untill I thaugth [thought] they
would break. this storm kept up all day untill 4 p m it quitt raining but the
wind is still blowing. it is not a very cold wind thank heaven the snow we had
is now nearly all melted & we have mud instead. Arthur been in the house
all day and he is now only when he does the choers [chores] he been reading a Love
Storie Magazine
soo you
seen Dr Hector well I dont know what to think it seemes to me as D.C. knows his
business pretty well to but I would be so glad if you would soon tell me that
you have used my prescription along with fasting and prayer. I know the Lord is
sure good for His word and promises so why not seek Him and be comforted. Drs
in general are very poor comforters and they would scare you to death if you
depend or belived on them in evere [every] thing and every work they say. but
dear Lovis I know you got faith in the Lord so why do you wait to do what He
have revealed for us to do when we are ill. Why dont talk to your Dad he got
the Priesthood and have the gift of healing and as the Lord is merciful to us
and forgives us for our sin and shortcommings when we humble ourseffs before
Him and pray unto Him I know He will hear and answer our prayers and give us
our desired health and strength and ofhter [other] thing we ask Him for namly a
testamony of the truth.
I wonder if
the chickens & the meat your Dad fetched to you was fit to eat as it was
not very cold here when he left but the chickens hung out frozen all nigth
before I packed them I had some nice hard in a cloth ready to send but it was
not any more room in the satsel [satchel] after I got the other things in it
and your Dad kept telling me how un able he was to carie [carry] any more
parsels so I am sorry I guess the lard got to do as your books wait for another
change [chance]. I am also sorry your Dad did not bring a blamket when he
needed it. I recived your Dads letter yesterday I am glad he can be around and
I guess it will take sometime before he will get strong as he had lost his
apetite and had not eaten or drunk anything to speak of for the last 2 a [or] 3
weeks before he left here it was a wonder that he was able to go and to get to
Berkeley all rigth.
I got a
letter from Joe this afternoon they are going to sail for San Pedro on the 19th
so I guess if they reach San Pedro be 4 [before] the 25th Joe will spend the xmas theere poor kid he
writes as if he were awful lonesome.
It is now 1
30 p m Dec 17.
When we got
up this morning we found a foot of snow on the level ground and snow drift as
high as your knees Abie had to shovel himself a road to get to the stable it is
nice and quite now and the sun is shining in on me. I got a letter a day or so
before you Dad left from sister Bowman she or they was going to Calif and she
wanted me to give her your addrass but as you told me not to give your addrass
to poeple I have not answered her letter at all, mebe Pa have thaugth [thought]
of telling you but I dont know so I thaugth [thought] it best to tell you
Oscars and Marys addrass is 4rd East 8th North Logan Utah I dont
know their number I guess I will write again soon and so mebe I will know their
no in time for you to send them a x mas card. Poor Mary she will be tickled to
get a x mas card from you. I think the mail carrier will know wheere to deliver
the mail when it is that near the addrass.
I would very much liked to have
gone to town to day but it is to mut no [too much snow] so I dare not
venture out. I wrote to Grace a few days ago and told her all the news so no
doubt she will tell you about them so I shall now close with Love to all no
names mentioned but all are remembered and no body forgotten. your Mumsie
C. J. Peterson a x and a bear hug
It is now 9 45 p m F.O. came out to nigth [night] after work
and stayed for one hour so he just left he said they were all well now but
Louis he got an awful doze of croup FO had to call Eliason at 11 30 last Sunday
nigth and he gave him some very strong medecine to give Louis as he had the
menonious [?] croup. FO said to-nigth [night] that Louis feels much better to
day and his cauph [cough] is loose I guess I shall not sit here any longer and
burn the light but go to bed and write more to morrow so good nigth Baby mine I
would like to x you goodnight but nothing doing.
