My dear and tickled baby
your
dear and little note was recived this after noon we were glad to hear you are
fine we understood you to come next Sunday but then again I thaugth it funny
you leave Floyd for a whole week before he goes to Camp, I am glad you wrote so
we would know,
yeas,
Joe have wrote to some of the effecks to us and said you and him were comming
togather in a canoe up in the lower
canal, I had to lauph because the canals are almost dry around here but of
course it depends what kind of a canoe it is you go in. or comming in ha ha.
I been
making black curent jelly to day and O it is good, when the berries were
boiling F.O. came up and he asked what I was a cooking as it smelled like
bedbugs. Annie gave me thoose bedbug currants the[y] got several currant bushes
on their place, I been helping Annie pick raspberries but I got give out in
this tirrible heat we have here so I
have only been down there one day this week I hope I can go down some more to
pick berries for ourselfs to put up fresh as our berries did not amounted to
much this years as we could not get the water in time so the most of the
berries dried up before the[y] got ripe.
I thank
you very much Lovis but theere is nothing I want you to do only for you to take
care of yourself do not get excited and work to hard so you will get sick and
will not be able to come I am glad you do not need to travel alone if Joe is
coming with you. your Dad seeme to feel some better he helps to milk and he
carries water for the cows and he was to town yesterday.
the
peavinery is all done now and I am sure glad before F.O. killed himself a
working he always picks for the hardest jobs I do not remember if I told you he
lost 30 pounds during that time he was pitching peavine Grace says that this
peavine stack is the prettyest built all along the whoole road between Preston
and N. Logan spur F.O. been promised a prize for it and for keeping the
contrackt [contract] up, Along the line the men could not keep upp it have been
as much as three differents sets of men changing about, I was in hope F.O.
would not keep it either as I could not endure to see him work that way
pitching that green long heavy vines from 4 am to 11 pm I kneeled down to pray
many time during the days and I asked the Lord to give F.O. strength and that
he would not take seriously sick and it seemes that the Lord heard and answered
my prayer. It is sure good to know that God lives and hears and answer us when
we pray to Him.
I shall
now go to feed the chickens before they fly upp and do a few more things before
I go to bed and I will close this to morrow before mailmantime.
Thursday
