covered with

Cat boils
that are very

My own Beloved Mother

The old Yulaha
came in yesterday and gave me your
two dear letters and the basket with
your generous gifts- Thanks! thanks!
You are determined I shall have to
spell the word "Thanks"- Every thing
in the basket was in [True?] order & as
it was too late for for dinner we had
the soup today and it was "delightfull"
& William is living on the nice [?]
the [?sore] is hanging up - Tell dear
Mal & Floyd that they gave William a
great treat for he is only allowed to
eat poultry & game - Oh I wish I could
tell you all how much I & we all feel
all this kindness you my own precous
mother & the rest of you dear ones [ there?]
[met?] the rest of us
