    Dear brother. It has been such a long time since we heard from you that I thought it was about time we were writing to you to find out where you were and what you were doing. We are all well and hope you/ are the same. Viola has not returned from St. George yet but she sent Nettie home with Ezra when he was up for holidays. The weather is very stormy has rained a great deal lately and as quick as it clears up a little Joseph is going to send after her and we are anxiously waiting for the time to come. George Lee
