My Dearest Annie

     I am mindfull of your Birthday Oct. 11.  I Sincerely hope tbhis will be a
happy Birthday for you full of Joy and gladness and that you may have many
happy birthdays all laden with health and all the good things your heart may
wish for surounded with your dear Sons and daughters to gather with grandchildren
all striving to bring cheer and cumfort for they all realise you have been a good
mother untiring in your eforts, nursed and cared for them in days of sickness and
during there tender years.  There is nothing in the world like a mother's Love
and a mother's heart.
     I hope our children will feal in there Sole Just as abreham Lincoln felt towards
his mother who died when Abe was 9 years old, but had inspired her Son through
her love and Sweet life that Lincoln aferwards said of his mother "all that I am
and all that I hope to be I owe to my angel mother. :Blessings on her memory."
     I sepose you will have our entire famley togather for a real happy time.  I
should be glad to have a look at all of you and see a real happy Croud with a big
Smile of Sunshine on every Face and hearts beating with love.
     The days are going by.  Fall is on us.  Soon Winter and we will all welcom
the return of spring with her Soft winds and sunshine.
     I am glad to say that I am enjoying my work.  There is nothing like preaching
the Gospel.  It brings Joy and Satesfaction to each of us and we get our pay each
day as time comes and goes, so it is with all church work.
     Your letter. of Aug. 31 received.  Was glad you have some nice peaches.  I have
seen a few peaches in the windows of Stors but do not think they tast like ours.
Therefor do not kare to try them.
     To bad Ant  Deat  have to go back to the Doctor, also that Brother Morgan has
met with a Sad condition.  That comes to so meney when they get well up in years.
     You say Johnney had his tonsels out?  I sepose that is our Son John's Johnney.
I hope he is geting along o.k.

     Accept of my Love and Kind. regards to all.

                                                  Yours ,
                                                          John H. Anderson
