the mail box and to my surprise there were all my dear little kittens.  It sure was
sweet of you, are I think it must been you.  Thanks Very much for the Valentine.  We
had such a lovly dinner from the leftovers.  It sure was so sweet of my dear sweet
Charlett and I was so glad Ruben and J.R. came so we could have dinner togather.
     We are haveing quite a snow storm.  What kind weather did you have when you got
home?  I dident get in to sister Hanson's.  The snow had to come so it cept me home.
How did Geneava stand the ride?  Did she sleep eny ?  There are so much I
would like to tell you but I will have to wait till the spring ore summer comes, then
I may have a priviidge of comming to see you.  I sure is comming down.  If it ceeps on
we may have twos feet of snow by morning.  Lets hope we dont get very much more
snow as I thinkwe have had enough.
     Did Berenice come down?  Susann come?  Won't Geneava be so happy and dear little
Patsy.  They will have a real nice time to gather.
     Give my love to Berenice and Phil.  Love to my sweet girls.  Love to merrill B.
