My dear Daugther Lovis

            How are you this morning fine and dandy I hope. I intended to go to town this morning and be back in time to write and get a letter off this afternoon but I can not go to town I got the diarie I must go to often I feel better just now as your Dad gave me a doze of the Watkin linnement and it warmed me up I took ginger and boiled milk before but it did not seemed to do me any good, It is now 1 30 p m I guess I vont go to town untill to morrow if it dont storm as it looks now like it migth rain again.

            we were glad to recive your letter but what in the world will I do with Ireene and her kockie kä but as she is improving in writting tell her I like to hear from her I love her and for her to keep on to write to me Cora is getting along better now she had Dr Haywood, you know Fr Eliason and vife is gone east E.S. is practicing in San Fransisco and Wales Budge is practicing in Ogden so the Budge clinic is a little split up. I sure be glad if your Dad would go to Dr Jones, or Porter either one I know they know how to or what to prescribe the medecine that will regulate any persons hart, I belive your Dad feels some better now he had been out working all morning. I was invited one day last week upp to Sadie Nyman to help to sew carpetrags I went at 9 30 a m so to earn my dinner well I sewed and sewed and listen to so much wicked gossips and scandals I got so disgusted because It is a shame how those woman who was theere backbited thoose who was not present. I got so tired at 5 30 p m I could not sew another rag, Sadie treated me grand and she had so much cooked food I had both dinner and supper with her but during the nigth after I was awful nerveous I could not sleep I dosed off and all at onece I give a jerk and as Sadies rags were rather dark I could see that tub of dark rags before me every time I awoke, I belive the poeple is getting worse instead of better you know I have not out amongst them at all all last winter so I had almost forgoten, and two weeks ago tonight they woman had a big spat in the meeting about going to old Lady Larson & I thaugth the all went any way but it was only about 5 of the woman that went, well if I now dont lookout I will be as bad as they are.

            O dear me here is the mailman by our pasture so I vont get this mailed this afternoon and I am ever so sorry so plaese I hope you will forgive me the mailman came a half hour earlier this afternoon than usual thats why I got left.

            5 p m Monday I dont know if we ever have recived a letter form you that have give us such a kind off feeling as the one we recived from you this afternoon I am both sorry for and glad over Floyd but thankful that theere is no preventives when the Lord have toutched our harts with His holy Spirit it is only to pray in all earnestl to Him and He will let you know if the doctrines is true or not by obeying the first principles of the Gospel the Lord do not turn any one of His children away when they or we pary unto Him and mean every word we say. I can easily remember when I was in the fix as Floyd I did not wanted to belive that Mormonism what the world calls it could be the only religion that was true and the God would acknoeledge but I actually asked the Lord to lead me and to guide me and to let me know if Mormonism was rigth and [End of page; missing next sheet of paper…hopefully, it will be found w/ some of the other letters.]

            Tuesday 1 30 p m mebe I can sqweze into the envelope onother note, I have washed this morning and I am going to bake bread this afternoon. I am sorry to hear about Mr Jones being sick.

            I thaugth I ask you to plaese dont get tired of me and all my so manny questions and other bothers I make for you and for all, I like for you and Grace to give me some advise I have thaugth of getting me a pair of short corsets so I will send a page or two out of Lane Bryant Catalouge see if you think theere is any of them that be alrigth for me, sister Ormond wears the one pair I have marked but I think the are to expensive for me so I will mark another pair see what you think and so when you girls can find time plaese look it upp and tell me, and also plaese answer my questions in my letter when you write, I realize that I am getting very funny and it worries myself than what will it do to others around me, give my love to Grace and all so long with every so much love your old Ma botheration
P.S. The corsets Mrs Hopkins sells cost eleven, twelwe and fourteen dollars, sister Ormond said they are not worth it and they are not good fitting corsets for such woman as Sister Ormond and myself.
