Dear Ma,
As I was writing to Frank today I thought that I would drop a
line to you too as I have no doubt you will look for a word from me in some shape. I am happy to say however that I am well in my
general health. My hip troubles me some
as yet, also my knee at times. Otherwise
I have improved very much since I came here.
I was highly pleased to learn that Arthur and all the rest
of you enjoyed yourselves Thanksgiving at home. I only wish that I were there too to enjoy
it with you. I was pleased to learn that
you all went to Mattie. Tell Robbie and
Mattie that I shall write them as soon as convenient for I am kept busy most of
the time with new ___. I hope that Frank will council with Robbie in
the matter I told him of. I am only too
glad to hear the praised that Winfred has heaped upon him in the care he takes
of his Ma. This I hear from Robbie & Mattie too. I suppose that Winfred & little Georgie have
a great time when they both go together.
We all visited at Mr. Pagson’s on Sunday, there being no
meeting here as our preacher had gone to the conference. Give my kind regards to Mr. & Mrs. Bustch,
hoping that they are well. Also to Uncle
Henry & wife. I wrote to Mr. W. T.
Higgins last week; I expect to hear from them soon.
Am glad to hear that the cows are doing so well. Long may they continue to do so is my wish as
this seems to be the only source of service just now to supply the house with
what you need therein. Howard &
Olive are out training . Lady Louise
& George are piling lumber for ___
____.
Love to all,
Father
