Dear Brother & Sister,
I was pleased to hear from you last evening and I am sorry
to tell you that I had a letter from home last night and she was down sick
again and, of course, I am obliged to make my stay rather short and go home
although I ought to stay two or three days longer to finish up what I had
started to do. One of my machines got
here Saturday and was very busy setting it up.
I will get it running on tomorrow and I will go home in the evening if
possible.
I went to church this morning and went to class meeting
before church and it was very interesting indeed.
I was very glad that you had such a good time on Monday
evening. 19 years last Thursday we were married.
I am of the notion of coming back here in a few weeks and I
will have Frances come with me but I have got to get someone to stay in the
house if I do, and I don’t know who to get just now, but maybe someone will
turn up in time. I sent a dispatch to Frances last night that I
would start for home in the evening of Monday and, of course, I am going if
nothing prevents me.
My love to all, hoping that this will find you all in good
health as this leaves me alright so far.
Yours truly,
Edwin
