So. Sutton Jan 22 1882.

 

Dear Ida

        I received your letter quite a while ago. I was very pleased to here from you

 

wee are all quite well; but Mother has got the sick head ache real hard; I had to go and make some biscuit as quick as I got home from school.

 

Lizzie Johnson keeps school now she is a real good teacher; I like her real well. I think wee have 28 scholars but I ant sure. It has got three weeks after this / wee have had some new scholars sence you left. I will now tell you the names One Evelyn Angell. Two Effie Coams Three Thomas Coams Four Lillie Williams Five Annie Williams Six Bessie Batcheler Seven Clifton Batcheler. Oh dont I wish I could see you seeting in one of those seets again but I am afraid I wont never you again. I suppose you have scolded a great deal because I havent writen before it is a nough to mak any body scold to wait so long.

 

Minnie Williams sends her love to you she is here now.

 

Willie Martin wee have got to part with him dont seems as if Mother and I can ever part with him it is awful hard to part now I tell you. his father is married to florrie Brown. Willie is a going next Friday I expect he is keeping house at florries father house where Mrs Woodards lived. wee all send love Fanny [?]
