Letter from David Patten Woodruff, 8 March 1891

My Dear Father
I received
your last letter some time ago also one from
Owen, I supose you have heard from Henry that
we have had no mail lately as the road has
been blocked with snow between here & and Price
They have sent the Soldiers out to open the
road. Nellie brought down Amy's & Phebe's
Valentines. She got them with hers, but she
say's there is some yet that she never got
one for her and one for Bell & Sylvia
about the time they came here the young man
that tended the Post Office was sick, they had
another young man tend the Office for a couple of
Weeks and he did not seem to understand
the buisness much. I did not get my News
Papers for nearly two weeks until the other P.M.
came and straightened out the Office then I
got them all at once. I am getting fat
since I got out of bed, but my leg does
not seem to gain strength very fast I
cannot get around any better non it now than
