4 in May, however there are six or eight men going this month to find homes. About a week ago I had a letter from your father,
he thinks his health is now quite restored, and says he feels quite comfortable We think we are having a very peculiar winter
so far however the roads are now good and business improves Your friends here are all about as usual The girls unite with
me in wishing you all much happiness hoping to hear from you soon May the Lord guide you with his right hand and shelter you
with his love continually is the earnest wish of your affectionate Mother
