My dearest onece [ones] at N.Y and Rhinebeck

            Lovis and Floyd.                       your welcome letter was recived last Friday We are all so glad when we hear from you and we are thankful you are all O.K. Grace came down last Wednesday and she stayed untill Sarturday morning, I dont want to worrie you I dont feel well the rash I told you I had broke out on my hands and arms is nearly all gone now so my hands are all clean the Dr called it Dermeatitis Vieswuista, it is relation to Poision Ivy and you can get it working in leaves and corn and from other vegetables also I do not know if it is the cause of me feeling all in now and good for nothing

            Grace insisted on taking me to a Dr. Dr Eliason is on a vacation so we saw Dr Hayward Sen. he examened me he said my blood pressure were alrigth and my kidness [kidneys] to but my hart [heart] beats unregular and I am weak, and of course I am avare [aware] of that F.O. does the milking and Dallie [Darold Johnson] been down here helping Pa but he is going to home to morrow on his birthday and his school begin next monday and then the Preston County fair next friday and sarturday, your Dad can do lots of things when he sees he has to I go and do a few things but I soon feel all in and I lay down for an hour or two then I get up and do a few more things and then I lay down I got two kinds of medecine to take I have taken half of it but I can not tell any differents in me I am to go back to the Dr next Friday. I can not tell what is the matter with me so mebe so Grace will and can tell you. I sure feel queer but I got no pain since my hands and arms got to look better but the skin feels rouph yet

            you ask if I hear from Joe and Abie, O yeas I hear from them real often I think Joe is at S.F. [San Francisco] now. I am enclosing a letter so when you read it you will be surprised, when I got it I said to myself I wonder what next that boy will try I have not answered this letter I been and am to sick and then Grace and I thaugth [thought] mebe Joe will say something about it when he writes as I suppose he seen Arthur while he been or is at San Fransisco. Abie writes real often but do you know he never mention to any of us he got married, the[y] have sent us some S.F. News Papers and in them we found a letter from this woman I say woman as I dont think she is a young girl that letter was from her to Arthur and been mislaid among them News Papers Grace read it and she said it reads funny so if you ask Grace she can tell you what she thinks about it.

            Grace and I made the sweetest little quilt while she was here for the expeckted little one and she got the cutest little pillow to match the quilt. Gus and Grace are sure making the best of preparations for that baby Gus calls it Pete. Grace got a little sore at me for telling you about the baby shower I do not know why I did not knew it were wrong a week ago the Peterson family stopped outside our gate Ester came in so I walked out to the car theere were Br and sister Peterson and Annie the chaiddour [?] and Esters baby and O dear Esters baby is the biggest baby I have ever seen but poor Ester you can not tell it is her only by her eyes she is so thin they all asked for you and so I told them Ester been in Logan all summer but she said she would soon go to Cedar City now.

            Im sure thankful to hear Mrs White is so well I know it makes Floyd and you feel well paid for your effort. I knew when I read you were chose from 50 woman or persons for that work you are doing that you had prayed about it to your Heavenly Father, how funny any way to chose a Utah girl who generally are put to one aside, F.O. are awful buissy [busy] every day working on the thresher he does not make any complain about his ear they are all well little Buddie is beginning to talk he points at me and calls me Bo Bo and then he smiles,      

            Grace is feeling pretty good and lookg [looking] O so fine you could not tell how close she is to be sick by looking at her I hope I will get well before she get sick.

            A thousand times thanks for the $3 you sent us and for everything you done and do for us and thanks for the little kisses you added at the bottom of your letter. I wonder why Floyd dont write a word or two to us in your letter we must of offended him in some way when he were here, Best wishes and love to Floyd and to yourself from Ma Peterson.

You might return that enclosed letter just for curiosoty. I can not write letter now only to you I am to tired. pray for us dear baby I shall write in a few days and let you know how we all are.
