My dear sweet Charlett,

     I only wished I could write my feelings.  It would be the dearest letter you ever
had, but you must think my taughts.  I want to thank you so much for those beautifull
flowers.  They were so lovly.  I alomest gave my life for you, but I am so thankfull
I was spared so I could take care of my dear little girl. How it gladened my hart
to have a dear little girl.  She have always been so dear to her mother and 7 more
came to bless our home. They sure was welcome.  I hope your dear girl was so
sweet to my dear girl as you were to me.  She is such a lovly girl and would do
every thing to please her dear parents.
     I got such a lovly letter from sister Furgenson (? ).  You must read it when you
come home again. She writes of your love for you children and that you have a son
on a mishion.  She could hardly beleave you had a boy that old.  The time leaps by
so fast.  It won't be long till you can go to meet- your dear boy again.  When the first
year is gone then the time will pass much faster.  That will be a happy meeting, don't
you think so?
     Well, dear Charlett I want to thank you again for those lovly flowers.  We got a letter
from Luella and one from Marie. They are all well. Marie said brother Curtis is
getting a little better.  I sure hope he will get well.  It would be so hard on _____Curtis.
     Geneava is quite a sick girl.  She is in bed most of the time. She wants me to tell
you she couldent send you eny thing till she gets well.
Love to Ruben and the boys. Give my love to my dear boy. I surly looked for
him yesterday. We set up waiting for him so we got tired, so we went to bed.
     Love to my dear girl. I want to write a few lines to Berenice if I can, but my hand
is getting quite shakey.
     From one that loves you Very much.
                                            Mother
