I guess I better write a few lines to you even if it is not my turn. I hope you are not any worser than you were when you left Logan Utah. 

                                    Friday evening Jan 2nd

The above lines you will see for yourself when the were wrote Sister Maughn came to see me and stayed all afternoon so I did not had the change to write any more that day and every day since I have been very buissy and to tired to think, We got your letter written Dec 31 this afternoon I have written two cards and one letter to you since you left and I dont know why you have not got them.

            yeas the tax reciet from Malad came a few days after you left and I have put it away. We have had extreamely cold weather here during x mas week the termonitor showed 40 below zero in Logan and it was colder out here FO said as he was out here to see how things looked and as I was in to Franks from x mas eve untill Friday afternoon Abie was with me only when him and F.O. came to gather out to do the choers We are well and are getting along allrigth, it has been milder Weather ever since the day after x mas day but it have snowed every day and nigth so we got plenty of snow here now the snow plows are working all the time to keep the streets in Logan open Loui Wilhelm and Hamsey been trying to do their best to keep the streets open out here.

            Abie wrote to you a few days ago and I happened to get to see what he wrote so when you answer him tell him to leave the trees along the streets alone. We are not suffering for kindling wood. he do not know that I saw what he wrote so dont tell him but just say you are glad to hear we are getting along all O.K. but to let the trees alone as every ax handle in Logan would get broke but you need not say that either as he is sure a funny boy.

            I am glad Santa Claus remembered you, he remembered me to. I have not been outside the date since x mas John and Ellen came down yesterday and stayed all afternoon and to day sister Ormond came down to see me if we were well and how we were getting along, she asked me how you were now if you were feeling any better I told her I did not know as you have not told me when  you or the girls had wrote but I guess you are not any worse or else you could not be sporting around.

            I hope you will have a change to go and see Minnies children before you return.

            F.O. and his two children came out yesterday and the children played with the butten box so I have swept and picked up buttens all day to day well I guess this is all plaese do not forget what I have said for you to tell or not to tell Abie if he finds out he will curse me upp and down. I will now close wishing you a happy New Year.    Good Day from dyng kärran.
