It
is ½ hour untill our mailcarier will be here and I want to send a letter and a
wish for you to have a Merry x mas to Floyd & You from this old Lady that
is a wondering every hour how you are and what you are doing I dont know if I
have answered your last letter or not but I can remember you said you were well
and very buisy and that you are writting to us in your mind all the time well
dear Lovis I belive you because I know I am doing the same if I should write
all I say in my thougths to you and to Grace & Joe I needed help to write I
could not do it along even if I sat and wrote all the time.
I
am much behind with my sarturdays work today I went to town yesterday and I
stayed much longer than I intended I went down to the Westfield to visit the
Janson family I meet Ruby in the Postoffice last Tuesday and she cryed when she told me about her Mother was so very
ill and are not expected to live much more than a few days so I thougth I
better go and see Mrs Janson I found her very lows she is done for I think she
could not talk to me without an awful exertion so she said but very few words
to me and I to her she had her eyes shut the most of the time and when I left
she waved her hand at me just as I shut the door.
I
got all the little x mas parsels mailed yesterday that was for California &
Malad, & McGill, but I did not get the Ogden done to send because I wanted
to go down to Jansons so I vont be served like I did when Mrs Johnnie Dick was
sick I waited or put it of [off] to go and see her so when I got theere the
crepe was hanging on the door and that thaugth me a lesson I dont want to
forget. Your Dad feel much better He is down to the spur now getting a load of
[???] silo, the weather here now is not as cold as it has been I keep the
flowers in the window in the east room all nigth and the dont frrrze they are
green and pretty but has no flowers on. I hate to tell you something but if I
don’t I know someone else will. Rachel Meyrick got killid in an automobile
accident last Wednesday nigth her and some more woman & men was going to a
dance some where south of Logan and the car tipped over and killed Miss Meyrick
instantly and one men from Salt Lake was fatally injured and died yesterday
morning and the rest was more or less hurt but not serious is this not awful.
this happened somewher around Millville This x mas will sure be a sad x mas for
manny of our friends but sad times comes to us all sooner or later.
Frank
and Annie is comming out next Monday for late diinner and spend x mas eve with
us I belive they got date to go to Wellsville x mas day if the children are
well and if it vont be to cold for to take them out. Shirly was not feeling
very good yesterday when I was down theere they have had Pher down to see what
could be the matter and he said Shirly had the yellow yanders and that that is
going around in Logan and theere is a lot of little kiddies that has it now
Shirly has not got it bad if she has it at all I have seen yellow yander cases
and their skin is yellow and the white of their eyes are very yellow but
Shirlys both eyes and skin is white only her face is kind of a pale and she
looks peekie and has a little tempature. F.O.s finger is now nearly better but
he has [???] a sliver in the soft side of his left hand and was not able to
take it out himself so he had Pher to take it out and it was very sore
yesterday he been having bread and milk poltice on it the nigth before last.
always something Always something. And sometimes more than something.
FO
is going up to Malad on the 26 on buisness and if he goes in his car he said I
can go with him Grace wants me to come but if I can not go with Frank I can not
go at all for I am broke now. ha ha everything around here is as usual nothing
going on that is of interest to me I am thankful I am feeling pretty good not I
must have the rheumatism in my body the pain I had in my shoulders is better
but I got the same kind of pain in my knees but not very bad not. I was glad
you been to church and heard Adam Bennion I like to been with you. Did you like
the California Relif Sosity President as well as you do Clarissa Smith plaese
do tell me when you write. Your Dad says to excuse him he will soon write and
tell Floyd about those animal tests.
Old
Lady Charlie Nyman is now up and around she feels weak but still she is doing
her own housework I think it is sure remarkable that she got better. I meant to
tell you in the note I wrote that theere was more cleaning to do on that
chicken I sent and if you just cooked or fry the meat about half done it will
keep longer but I forgot as I was listning to Ruby talking about her Mother
Well dearees I will close wishing you a merry merry x mas so long with lots of
love from your Mother Caroline J. Peterson.
