Dear Friend Mary:-
line 5
I now take a few moments
line 6
to answer your ever welcome
line 7
letter which was recd. a short
line 8
time ago. It seemed quite
line 9
natural to get a letter from
line 10
you written from home.
line 11
I hardly know what to
line 12
write about every thing is
line 13
so quiet besides my mind
line 14
is so empty. Since coming
line 15
home, I have been quite buisy
line 16
but we have most of the rush
line 17
of our work over now.
line 18
We are expecting to have a
line 19
Page 2
fine time on the Fourth of July
line 1
I think you will readily agree
line 2
with me, when you learn that
line 3
line 4
Francis starts to Milford in
Page 2 line 5
about a week, so I will have
line 6
plenty to do then. If I could
line 7
find a job I would go off to
line 8
work untill school started.
line 9
I imagine you will be
line 10
surprised to hear that I am
line 11
calculating to go back
line 12
for you will be like all the
line 13
rest of the folks, will think
line 14
I have got quite enough
line 15
schooling. I believe I will change
line 16
my mind I think you the last
line 17
person to be like the rest of the
line 18
people
line 19
I recd a short letter from
line 20
Levi a short time ago he said
line 21
he had heard that I had got
line 22
home, and wished me to
line 23
come down and prospect in
Page 3 line 1
Cedar Basin, he thought
line 2
it better than Monkey Bench
line 3
or White hills. I would have
line 4
been pleased to have gone had
line 5
I any way of going or had I
line 6
of had less to do just then
line 7
The thrasher is running
line 8
Page 3
a little to day. Most of the
line

people in town are out of flour
line
10
They will not do all the thrashing
line
11
for some time yet.
line
12
I think I have about exausted
line
13
the farm news and as there
line
14
is no other I think I will have
line
15
to conclude.
line
16
May these few scratches
line
17
find you well and happy.
line
18
With love and best wishes for
line
19
a fly (?) time on the Fourth
line
