Dear Erlend:- Your very wel-

come letter was duely received

and it is with pleasure that

I write in reply to the same.

I was sorry to hear that you

had such a dull time and

the mumps into the bargain

but I can sympathize with

you for I have had that

complaint myself.

Ma has been quite sick for

several days but is much better

today. Sam and little Harry

have not been well for a week.

They have bad colds and con-

fever.

siderable leaver. The rest of us

are well at present and I hope

this will find you enjoying.

good health.

I have been to sabbath-school

today and aught to went to

church but the wind was

blowing and I was to lazy

to venture out, but am going 

to conjoint to night. I am 

just going to tell you every little 

simple thing I can think of 

so you must make up your 

mind for it. 

Last Thursday night I was out 

to a candy-pulling and on 

Friday night we had a social 

p© hop in the school-house. 

Of course we all had a lovely

time. A buggy load of the 

young folks have just returned 

from Clover Valley where they 

went to attend a party. Some

of the people here, namely: Wads-

worth’s, Lee’s, Edwardes’s and 

Syphus’s, are constructing a 

on reservoir ©f the west side of town. 

Prom twelve to fourteen teams

have been working for two weeks, and it will take about

a month yet to complete it.

I am going to work in ernest

to-morrow for I have about

three weeks work, at dress-mak-

ing, that must be done before

I can do anything else.

I do not have very much spare

time now Clara is attending

school. She is sitting with me

now writing a composition

I suppose you know what 

a task that is. I will have 

to conclude for it is now 

supper time. Please write when 

ever you can. I will always 

he glad to hear from you. 

With kind regards I remain 

truly your friend M. E. Syphus.
