October 7 - 88

Dear Sister Mary

I received your letter and was very glad to here by it that you was in good health but I was sorry to hear of two of the children not being in good health. I must let you know that we are all in very good health at present Thank God for it. I was very much disapointed when I got the letter. I thought it

would a been yourself would a come first. I was waching every day for a tilagram. Dear sister you wanted to know was there any schoools near hand. There is lots of them all around. You think it would not be advisable to move the children at present. You can just pleas yourself for that but if you stay there till spring I expect to have a house keeper of my own before that if God spears me. I had a letter from home about

3 weeks ago and the were all well but the said the had no word from you for a long time so I have got no more to say at this time. From you Brother Oliver

rite soon again and let me know what you are going to do.
