My Dear Charlotte,

	Thanks a lot for the fine valentine you sent.  It is realy to much.  Just a few
lines would have been suficent.  We was very glad to have Merrill with us for a
few hours.  It is always nice to have our children come home.  Melven is coming
home to night. He is in Brigham today. A letter from Emely informs us that
Woodruff is recovering as well as can be expected.  I am very glad you had the Dr.
go to Pasen to see him.  I think that is wat is bringing Woodruff out of his very
serious condition.
	Mother is purking up again and feeling better. I think her woreying over
Woodruff is what made her feal down and out.
	Celia Nelson came in yesterday, brought som flowers and a loaf of Swedish
bread and asked if there was anything she could do.  Brother Nelson caled in a 
few days ago.  They seamed to be fealing grived for the pasing of Mrs. Nelson.
	Well, we are having one of the extra cold spells again.  Jack frost seams to
have it in for some of us.  It seames to me it is about time for milder weather and
a little fealing of spring in the are.
	Mother and I send Love to you and Family.

			Very Sincerely your Father
