from to much worreing. your two letter been recived and we are thankful
to know you are alrigth you must feel a lot stronger now than you have when you can get around like you
write about being here and theere and everywhere in such a short time.
Last
Sarturday evening a week ago to nigth I read in the Deseret New about the big
wind in San Fransisco and after I went to bed I commenced thinking about you
two and the destrucktions that is
visiting the coast I got very nerveous I got upp and wrapped myself upp in a
quilt and sat on the trunk until 2 a m then I knelt down and prayed to the Lord
to bless and to proteckt you and to take the fear and mebe the imaganary
feeling I had away from me so I could go to bed so I felt better but I did not
sleep any that nigth. I hope you are alrigth and I pray to God to have His
proteckting Angels to go with you and be with you to guard you from the evil
and to proteckt you at all all times,
We are
as usual and I get along pretty good with the choers when the weather is not to
cold last monday afternoon Gus and Grace and Irene camd down in their car we
had some thing to eat here and then the[y] vent to Logan and in the evening
theere came a big snowstorm so the[y] decided to stay to FOs over nigth the
next morning Gus could not start the car it was blocked upp in the snow but
some how F.O. got the car out and he took them to Preston but it took them two
hours to go between Logan and Preston when at other times Grace have come down
in 45 min. theere was so much snow in our place so it took me one hour and a
half to shovel my way to the stable and when it cleared off it got real cold
the snow and ice cracked in under my feet or shoes when I walked outside.
your Dad
is not feeling very well I do belive he is going weaker some days he is dressed
and sitting upp and then he is in bed again for a few days, F.O. comes out
every day and I am sure that I do not know what I do if he could not come to
help me to take down hay and clean the stable he been here to day so I will now
get along for a dar or so you know your Dad sold the barn so our hay is all
snowed under and it gets packed and froze so I can not handle it it is to hard
work for me and your Dad is not strong enouph to carrie a bucket off water from
the pump to the cows drinking tub I think it is the cold weather that makes him
a little worse.
We are
getting along pretty good, you know Gus and Grace have bougth the Piano so we
are eating on it now we get our flour from them as they sell it to us by whole
sale prize, I can see the mailcarier at Bleakers so I shall close my letter or
my note and write more next week My ink bottle froze so plaese exuse lead
pencil I have not been able to go to town yet. I was going to day but it begin
to snow and blow so F.O. said it was not safe for me to go. I guess your birth
day present will come to you June 6th insetead off Feb 6th.
Give my
love to Floyd mebe I will do some thing one off theese days that migth surprise
him just a little I am enclosing some clippings the old Lady Annies Fathers,
Fathers vife.

with a big load of Love Your Mother
