My dear babyes at New York City Dr and Mrs Floyd H.
White.
I can not
remember if I have answered your letter we recived on Aug 8 or not so you see ho forget ful I am
we recived another letter from you yesterday we are sure glad to hear you are
alrigth you have more faith than I got so I am a shamed of myself.
Your Dad is
the same as when you were here he is now sitting in the sun in the lane on one
of those tree stumps he has a good apetite and sleeps good to but still are not
able to do any work he pumps and carries a little water in the cows tub by the
fence and some days he moves and stakes the sheep and the calfs. you will say
that is work is it not? I say yeas it is as every steps he takes like that
saves me a few steps for I am sure getting lazy or something yesterday I laid
down nearly all day and did not do any thing else besides the choers I had one
of them give out spells you know but I am glad I feel much better to day.
We have had
a big rain and it has cooled of the air to sudden and has made a big change in
the weather the ground this morning were white with a heavy dew. F.O. said it
almost looked like a frost wich I hope not he got such lovely garden this year
it be to bad if a frost came and took it.
The Cache
Stake old folks did not go to canion but instead we went to the A.C. campus and
that suited me and we were treated like kings and Qweenes ha ha I sat
from 8 30 a m untill 6 p m so when I came to walk I could not walk my sides and
legs were stiff and hard as a board to much sitting down do not agree with me
but I finaly manage to get in Kings car and Pa & I came home with them. The
Logan Stake took their old folks to Lagoon I wish we could have gone down there
to.
Yeas Bishop
Kemp had two certificates of Floyds babtism if I remember rigth I heard him say
he send one to Oakland and he left one here and I always belived I send that
one to you untill yesterday when you wrote about it so Pa said to me if you
sent it it must of got lost but as I was not sure I had sent it I went to look
in the box where I put important things in and sure enouph it was there so I am
enclosing it hope you will excuse me for not sending it before as it belong to
you, I have copyed it so to write it down in our Temple record Book.
I feel so
happy to know Floyd and Gus have been babtized when I am at my work and work
hard and my thoughts are lead to think whats happen I feel as tho my feet are
lifted from the ground and I thank our Heavenly Father for His goodness,
yeas my
dearests It will sure be grand for you and for me when you come to go to the Temple
There is a
few lines of one of our hymns that comes to my mind I like to write it to you
Tho’ the great and the wise all thy
beuties despise,
To the
humble and pure thou are dear;
Tho the
haugh-ty may smile and the wicked revile
yet we love
thy glad tidings to hear.
O Zion dear
Zion
forced to
fly to thy chambers on high,
yet we’ll
share joy and sorrow with thee.
To this I
can bear my testamony to the thruthfullness there of.
To
the humble thou art dear.
The Temple at Arizona will soon be completed for dedication that will
make 7 Temples
I shall
just write a few more lines before I close, The respberryetime is now all past,
now we have apples our two astrican apple trees by your vire gate has a whole
lot of appels on this year There is no sale for them so I am peeling a lot of
them for drying Shirly picks a 6 quart bucket full each time she comes up to
take home and she comes upp twice a day when her Dad comes to milk his cow who
is in our pasture and I still throw buckets & buckets full of apples in to
the pigs. if all goes well we will have a lot of fall apples to.
There will
soon be two weeks since Gus and Grace were down I been cooking and looking down
the road for them untill I have strained my eyes so now I got a big sty on my
left eye lead it sheds my eye so I am now looking side ways to see when I write
this and it hurts to, you bet. I guess Grace is buissy sewing I hope so
any way so it vont be any thing else that hinders them from coming down the
last time she were down she said it hurts her now to ride.
The Ladies
in Preston is going to have a baby shower on Grace the first week in September,
I must try to go to it as I have not been to Preston
since the children had the measels.
I do not
know what color our meeting house is painted with as I have not been up there
to see Swen done the painting and I just saw him go down the road in his truck
all loaded with buckets and ladders so I guess he is through, I tell you what
color next time I write.
Edmund
Wilhelm been operated on for apencitis he got along fine and are not out car
riding with his Dad every day. yesterday when I was picking up apples Newel
Crockston stopped and talk to me he asked for you two he said for me to tell
you he just to work as a missionary in your branch and also Albany Branch where
his sister Edna now lives he said Edna be glad to see you as she feels awful
lonesome he sends his best love to you folks he rejoysed in hearing Floyd have
joined the church.
Do you know
I been two hours in writting this letter I been stopping writting every little
not and then to rest my eye mebe I better close so so long with much Love your
Ma Peterson.
