Dear Pappa  Your loving letter reached us wessday   this is friday so you see I did not sit down right strait and write   I wanted to and I hope you will not complain   I will try to be more prompt about wrighting this time than before.   Our new Teacher has come, and he is the best teacher that I ever was.   He is hansom sort chuby   he has the nack of explaning the lessons and he allways wares a smile on his face   he rools the school without a cross word.

Brother C. G. Maser is with us   he visited the school two days and expressed his self vary pleased with the school. He will stay here till monday I go to school evry day   I mean to learn if I can   I read every day as much as I can. Grandma is going to wright to you and I will let her tell you how her children do    I try to do by her the best I kow how.   The Conference folks broght the word that in Juarez Roy Cluff and two babys were burned the same day and two more babys lay at the point of death   Victoria Pratt last one of her little boys   Millie Jans died in Dueblan. I think you aught to live with Brother Willams as Ma and Miss Willams wes chumbs when they were girls and then sister Harris has here little girl for company and the others have -----? chldren.   well it is getting late and I want to go to meeting for Brother Maser is going to lecture to night so I will close.

I will try to write a few lines the children are all well except Sullie   he had a hard fit yesterday morning  & two last night   He looks very bad   I am making him as comfortable as I can   I keep him as clean  & nice as I can   I have made him two long outing shirts   he is very proud of them when he is at himself   he has been miserable the most of the time   Since you left Ray was sick a few days throwing up but he is alright now  & just as sweet as he can be  & Sullie calls me Ma.

Georgie is here to night   her babe is quite sick & we don’t know what is the matter with it.

We cant get anything from the mill [indistinct, Jesse?] say you drawed 40 dollars more than was coming to you & that you have drawed all of your flour and you may get four pounds of feathers if you can handly   dont inconvenience yourself atall.

Now I hope you wont any longer than a month   it is too hard on me   it is too much of a responsibility for my weak brain   I guess I have scribbled enough my pencil is so short & I can hardly hold to it   I could not find the pen   I will close for this time hoping to hear from you soon & a little longer letter next time   Mat did not get home until Saturday She has been very miserable Since She got home   good Night & god bless you is the prayer of your loving
