Oct 21-- 1918. My Dear Sister
as I hear from Ollie that you
have gone East and must be at Adas
I will pen a few lines. I thought I would
get this letter written last Sunday but
as usual my slow [lettering?] I did
not and onely [sic] got one written to
Ollie. but just sent one off to Georgie
Saturday. Well it was some day
Sunday hard wind and rain but
to day [sic] is colder and to morrow [sic] I think
it will be quite a day by the looks of
the sky. you said in your letter that
Georgie did not write you she said she
got a letter from you but I guess
the poor kid does not get time to write
to each one verry [sic] often she said she

liked to get the letters but she did –
not get the time to answer them as she
[illegible]. she was well the last letter I got
and that was to day. She thinks now
she may be home for Thanksgivin [sic].
I supose [sic] you will spend it there but
you was out here last Thanksgivin [sic]
you know. I want Ollie and family [sic]
to try and get out this year. we hear
from them it is from her that I heard
you had gone east. I should of got
this letter written last night but who
came in but Charly Ingalls and he
was here to supper and after he went
I had dishes to wash up and Ollie’s
letter to finish I don’t get much time
to write in the morning as Mr Day is
off on his Vacation and that [illegible] has
an [illegible] and he gets here so early. Well
next Sunday back goes the clocks will
you be glad that Brother of [yours?] will
Ollie and familey [sic] was at Rudens and
Nellies a week ago to stay over Sun-
day said they had a fine time.

Douglas was sick poor little fellow
he is not a strong looking child but I
hope he will take a turn soon to be
better. I supose [sic] Adas Girls are all
Young Ladies now time flyes [sic] so all
the little ones will soon be grown up
Georgie 21 in Dec dont [sic] seem possable [sic]
does it. I hope you will send word to
Leana [Ricketsone?] and go to see her
I am not owing her a letter and the
last time I wrote her I could not tell
her what time you would go East.
hope you will keep well I guess you
will for the terable [sic] decease [sic] does not
seem to attact [sic] as old as you it is
the middle age and young. We have had
one death at oakwood and a member
of our club Mrs. Fred Hatch she was
such a lovely woman and they seemed
to get on so nice together. She was burried [sic]
Sunday well it is most 11 so I will
let up and start and go to bed and try
to get it finished in the morning.

Tuesday morning. Well this is a fine
morning very bright. hope this will find you
and Adas family all well. now as to a few
things to answer that was in your last letter
it seemed queer to me [illegible] that when you
red [sic] [Leanas?] letter first that you did not
remember the important part where she
mentioned these things here. now the way
we feel about it is not to give up any of
the things until we see the letter. looks to
me that you [cant?] seem to remember just
how things are for we have said so
many different things. [about?] that letter
when you get home send it to us you will
be sure and get it back if you want to keep
it. I dont [sic] see how we have any right to
let a thing go before having the real
proof of where it is to go. and as far as her
bank book was conserned [sic] we did not know
how much there was there the airs [heirs?] could
make you bring that [out?]. I saw her
bank book when she was here and I think
I can tell you what I think of that
