My dear dear babys Floyd and Lovis
Yours so
nice and kind letter off June 15—1925 was recived yesterday and we are glad to see
you are as fine as find can be.
The
check and the cards you sent for my birthday been recived I am unable to
express how I apriciate your kindness but I thank you a thousend times I know I
never be able to return your kindness so I pray God to bless you.
The
folks arived here last Friday nigth at 10 p m they are well but very tired.
They went to Garland yesterday morning to see their place and to go to Malad
and come back by Preston Idaho so I guess they von’t be back before this eveing
the children are home with us. they dont get lonesome for their Pappa &
mamma they eat, sleep and play. Darold have buried a dead pullet this forenoon
he dug a grave for it below the barn and he made a headboard for it and Grandpa
wrote on it and it says chick pullet born June 7, died June 30—1925. and Darold
have put a bougue [bouquet] off flower on the grave by the headboard.
We got
warm weather here to but not to hot just the kind we need for things to grow
you asks me to tell you about Arthur well on the nigth off March the 25th
or 26th just as Arthur and all of us was About to go to bed Gorge Hopkin
came and whistle and Arthur went out to him and they both went upp the road to
the meeting house the M men had a rehearsal in the meeting house and some off
them had come to it on horse back so Gorge and Abie untied Orion Folletts and
Andrew B. Nymans horses and got on them and rode on them down to Carl Ericksons
corner then they left the horses theere and Abie came home and Gorge went to
town, It made theese two men Orie and Andrew awful mad when their horses were
missing so the[y] searched for the horses but did not find them untill the next
morning but some one had seen the boys riding on the horses and that’s how they
knew who got the horses, Gorge he runn away or skipped but Abie was home to bed
aslep when Andrew B. came walking in and put his fist in Abies face and told
him he was to put Arthur over the road I did not knew then what it was about
but it was not long before the summons came for Abie to appear in the Juvenile
Office
Pa went
with Abie Abie confessed they took the horses but did not realized it was such
a big offence so they sentenced him in the Industrial school anyway from now
untill 21 years off age, off course it all depends on himself if he can get out
before. Gorge been in Logan since but they did not bothered about him he is free
and around somewhere I know you wonder why I have not told you this before but
when Arthur went on the 30 off March he asked me not to tell your or Grace as
you would feel to bad. I can tell you that this was hard for me to keep from
telling as I needed sympathy but as Abie asked me I promised him faithfull I
would not tell where he was but as he was first to tell I know he dont care now
if you know why he was put theere. Your
Dad and F.O. been to see him and when I wrote to McGill I enclosed a sealed letter
to Grace and told her where Abie was and to stop at Ogden to see him and they
did, Well my dear folks I am not capable off writting very good about this but
Will if you ask questions I can answer them better then I can write about it
all at onece like this.
soo you
are thinking about leaving Berkeley and go into buisness off your own so I will
wish you sucsess. [success]

stockings, Jennie sent me a box off this kind of stationary and two cards and a
very nice bouque of flowers that she had ordered from Gorge W. Lindquist.
