Feb 2, 1891.
Dear friend
Once more I will pen you a
few lines to inform you that
we are all alive yet. I came
home night before last from
the Canyon have been down
with the mail to-day.
Hary was all right and doing
well when I left.
George, Edd, and Edd. left here
over two weeks ago and havent
been back yet do not know
how long they will stay
Perhaps you have been looking
for a letter before this and may-
-be you wish that I would, never write any more, but I am pretty hard to get rid of if I do have poor ways. I can think of no news to write every thing is as dry as myself. I am going down to ride mail
C2 one month for Geo. BonellJ.
C erasure J(the lady) tried
to get me to take her out
for a ride the other sunday line 11
Wouldnt We Have Looked Fine.
Fannie is here now she is tolerable
well. W. E. Abbott is living
at Bunkerville now he is a
father, his wife has a baby girl
I am just about spun out
can think of no more to night
I hope you will not put off
writing as long as I, but, was
away. I was just thinking
about what Ellen was trying
to plague you about when
here and you felt so bad you
went out doors and wept.
Many Many thanks to the person
that sent the Happy New Year
for it was a very nice one.
Please excuse this for the pens
are miserable and myself to
If you can not read please return
and I will try and do better
I remain as ever
Yours Truly
J. M. Bunker
