Marshal Dyer has gone to Calafornia
his Depts are doing some work in his
absence but not as much as formerally
All our families are as Well as usual
I got a Letter to day from Sarah the children
were getting better all were improving but were
pretty well tired out watching with the sick
work is increasing with me Daily and I dont
know as it will Ever be any Less give
my Love to all the family Emma & all send
Love I Expect to take a ride with E soon 50
miles to provo to see Clara, she has been
quite sick but is better Now. I dont
think I shall Ever be so busy but
what I can answer your Letters in some
stops wheth you can read them or not
is another thing I have Clerks Enough
to write my Letters and all my public
Letters but I scribble all my own private
Letters I think I will have to change my
present residence a while
