Dear Brother John I wrote a letter to you 2 or 3 weeks ago and when I got a chance to post it I forgot time after time but
now I will make the best of it by telling you what has happened since. Since that we have moved into Portage John Reid has
moved on to the farm Mary and Anna and I have been at the High School one week end Joanna is at an intermediate but none of
us have been illegible yet as Mr Muir the superintendant has been in Milwaukee ever since we have been here but Judge Dotty
have us permission to go to such schools as we would be likely to get into till Mr Muir returns but now there will be two
weeks vacation and the superintendent will be back before they are ended the teacher in the under flat is Mr Megoffin? the
teacher in the intermediate School is Miss Boothe. Staber's two children are at th? high School You? little boy about two
feet long is a better illegible than either you or I. I guess and he studies Arithmetic Algbra natural?
