Aunt Huldas Saturday Eve.

 

My Dear Papa:

                        I was so glad to hear from home and see aunt Sarah and the little ones, if it had only been warm

 

            I would have written home but you promised to write to me and I was not sure wether I had postage enough to keep a correspondence and pay my fare home.

 

            I have written but one letter to Will since I have been here not because I had no stamps but no chance to write. he has been sick is sick now. he says headache he says a good deal about the election. he will get his Commission this month and is coming home soon. I suppose Joe has told you all about the Mac meetings. poor Mr Chalfant is very sick, rumored that he is dying. I have got a picture a group of four Joe, Ally Jennie and I. I paid 50 cts for it. I have a lot of pictures that Will sent. he asks you to please see why he don't get the Democrat he has not had / it for five weeks.

 

            Joe is not coming with me they have boarders. I guess I have visited my welcome nearly out so I will be home on Wednesday night then I will tell all I can think of and perhaps guess more.

 

            I cannot write here I have no pen fit and no place. please send me 25 cts I want Clays picture so bad and [?] has such perfect ones.           

 

my love to all

 

Your Daughter Laura

 

Papa.
