they want to use if they can get it they canot get it they have to go
with out it as well as they can I think they might just as well buy
a cow as to keep beging for milk for milk all the time for tea
I am glad the presidend has appointed you to go on a mshion so that
you will not have to work so hard as you have done along back I hope
the weather will continue fine as it has been lately. Mother

leave home as it such a busy time but I hope you will have a
pleasant ride this time altho it is not so pleasant to have you
gone away from home still it is better than to have you so far

be a long time before we could see you again but you have not
