Well we had to leave home again when we got here Henry Bowman came with wagon and team and took us down to his place and kept us two weeks until our boys got out and came to move us we are living in highland Park but we are going to move this week to another place there is a lounge on each side of us and want to get away. Douglas got thrown out of the wagon and got foot run over and hurt his ankle very bad he had to go on crutches about 3 weeks but has gone to work he and Martell are up to Bro Bowmans place and Fenley and family are there Oskes  [?] Bluth took Lucy & is going to lake when a train goes.
