Letter Sent Home


Dear ones all

Well we are ready to move or going to go to San Diego & land knows where or when we get to Los A- would like my letters but suppose I might as well brake of gragually so it wont be so sudden Uncle Will just said tell them at home I am not home sick yet & every time I go to town I ride on figure 8 (road is so crocked & up & down) he said as soon as he got out here he was satisfied. say now before I forget it what become of the deer skin you said once it was done & you was having it sent P.P. that’s all you ever said. I am sending a P.P. with this letter just of foolishness & for chinking I was like Ede with her waist. I took my apron & if you want strings on it you know how to put them on I don’t expect to keep house anymore so don’t knead so many I have two yet thats all I want for camping. pa just come in all togged up so I must get there I’m sending a picture Len gave me. so long --

here we are at the Center P.O. so far anyway. the men hated to see us go (or acted so any way) J.P. wanted to pay us for what we done said pa had helped or done what maby he would never have done he acted very thankful. well they will miss us (believe me) we are feeling price this morn. its cloudy & cool will write again in the morn. tell us how 7 when this letter & P.P. get thru. hope you are all well. see this is last of my tablet - they go fast.

Love to all Mother & Dad
