Mary Anna were to be up too, it being their vacation but I did not see any of them Maggie keeps wonderful well for her and
then she has such a good quite baby her little Jessie but Annie Father says is one of the most mischevious little things he
ever saw put her out of one thing and she will laugh in your face and go into the next mischief she can see but as Father
says they all bear with her she is so little David has been sowing oats this morning his wheat is all in he is working away

rows filled out. we had a letter from Dan the same day we got your last he was well he gets small wages but he seems to be
in good spirits and expects to get more soon our little ones are well romping about most of the time expecting to hear from
