    Dear friend

    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

    C erasure J(the lady) tried
    to get me to take her out

    for a ride the other sunday line 11

    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
