Dear Sister

I am going to write you once more before you get discouraged in waiting and write to me. And the year is nearly out now, and I want to get in at least two letters in one year. We are all quite well here at present, and hope you are the same. We are having a nice fall and winter to finish our falls work. the ground is all open yet for plowing 

 

We have just begun to have rain enough to fill up the dry wells and springs. I have built an ice pond this fall and it has just filled up now. I guess you will have to come out if you see me this fall, for I have so much work to do that I can't "go west" this fall. If you will write me when you will arrive I will try and meet you at the Depot. If you want any stamps I can send you some, or I can keep them for you here if you say so. L. E. Inman is just enjoying himself since he came from / Iowa. He drives a nice team and a new Top Buggy. Tell Elmer I would like to help him hunt ducks for about one week just for fun. I think I could kill now and then a foolish one.

 

            Well I shall have to stop for this time as we have just had an invitation out this evening and the rest are all ready to go. write back as soon as you get this so I will know if you intend to come out this winter.                                               

 

Yours as Ever
