Dearest Lela! -

I have just finished a
big washing, and cleaning my
gun, now I will try and write a
letter to you again. I received
yours this morning.

Yesterday I had the "pleasure"
of attending my first Mormon
funeral, and here's hoping it's
the last. The Mormon church
doesn't have a regular minister
or preacher, dispenser of the gospel,
