My Dear Charlotte,

     Your letter received to day was full of chear and hope, expresing the beauty of
Life.  We should all feal that way for each of us has so much to be greatfull for,
and so much to live for.  There should be no room for discontent or envy, for if we
think the other fellow enjoys greater privelidges than we and has a greater corner
on Life, posabley if all was known we may be the favored one.  I think the Lord
has aranged the posabiletys of Life in a most wonderfull way, for all his children
has much to Live for, much to be thankfull for and Each one has ther cut of
Gethsemane and each one has his cross to bare.
     Mother has felt as well as could be expected. She sat up and ate her supper
without any help, so I think she will get along o.k.
     We all sends Love and Best Wishes to you & Family & Merrill.

                                              Sincerely,
                                                    Your Father
