As Joseph is going up I would pen you a few lines   we are able to be around but Fan is very misserable and my ankle is very weak   I get around on it a little but I have to be very careful.

Well Saddie how are you   I hope you are better   I think of you every day and wish I could and every time Fan churns we wish we could hand some butter and butter milk   it is so good   My chickens all died and the old hen went off and left them and they chilled and died  that is all that Matts girles left of your towel   the Scisors are Hazels   Eddie left them at my house when he went to School   well I believe this is all   Oh Baily Lake burried a little boy to day   The Dr or no one knew what was the matter with it.

Well good bye   God bless you all is the prayer of Mother
