My dearest Babyes at
your
welcome letter been recived a few days ago I will use the same words as you did
in your last letter and that I generally use when I pray to our Heavenly Father
theese are the words I am thankful that all is as well with you and us all as
it is now if Floyd wants for you two to live in the same place that is the way
for you two to live and it sure makes my happy I am so thankful to tell you
that I feel some better it is now 11 45 a m I got up at 6 a m and I been on the
got not very fast tho but slowly ever since I have washed the windows, shined
the stove, and swept all over and shaked the rugs, theese things have not been
done for the last 3 weeks while I been sick. I have washed the dishes and
cocked a few things for to eat and then between times I have laid down some
thing unusual for me to have to give in but it so much so we must be reminded
once in a while how little we are when our health and strength fails us.
Grace been
down real often since I been sick but the poor dear when she have rode all the
way from Preston she were and are more tired and sick than I been Annie have
put up our pitches and have come and swept the kitchen all the rest had to
stand your Dad have done the few minor choers outside and F.O have milked all
up untill this morning then I milked our cows. F.O is not well himself he
worked 24 days on the thresher and he had in hailed so much dust and got cold
untill now he can not talk above a wisper but he is working on his place every
day since the thresher quitt it quitt last Friday. now Lovis plaese do not go
out alone and sit like you said you did while writting to us what if that
feller have caried a gun you been as helpless as a pullet so plaese do not make
such risks as you can not thrust every body like you could Floyd. now be
careful I says I says.
we have
such lovely weather here now the farmers here got the 3rd crop of
[?sern] cut and ready to haul in F.O. is going to haul in ours this afternoon
you augth to see the montain sides how pretty the maple leafs are but all the
same every thing tells that fall is aproching. I am home all alone your Dad he
takes a walk onece in a while I belive he is down to Annies now he walked down
the road at 9 30 p m and has not got back yet. I dont know why but it seemes as
tho in every letter I write to you I am telling of some dear friend and neabor
that have passed away to day sister Emma Larson is to be buried you know she is
Olie Larsons Mother her husbaund died in the early spring this year. F.O. saw her
in town last week walking along carieng a shopping bag all full of grociries.
she is 75 years of age.
There is a
lot of new babyes expeckted to come to N. Logan
this fall and winter. Gladys is one of thoose happy Mothers her Mother were in
to see us last Friday and she told me Gladys expeckts to be sick within a
mounth. I had a few things more to write about but I shall wait untill next
time I am afraid I will miss the mailman he comes much earlier since he comes
in a car.
When I
think how good you and Floyd are to us the least I can do is to write a letter
to you every few days, so long with best
wishes and love and kisses from your
Mother
that lives in a little gray home in the West. W
