My Dear Boy

My Dearest Friend I wonder
what you are doing this evening. How
much I wish I might know that your
leg was all right. I am thinking of you so
much and wish you were at home with
me. Josie and I were going home today
but Woodfords would not let us go.
Luther wanted to visit with us, so we
stayed till tomorrow, he came from
Sioux City yesterday afternoon. Conference
closed yesterday. It may be that I
never told you that the reason we
selected this time to visit here was
because Conference was to be held at
Sioux City and we wanted to go. On
sunday morning we listened to the
deepest discourse I ever heard by Walden
of Chicago; his tent was "The life that
I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith
of the Son of God, who loved me,
and gave himself for me".

Luther took Gertie Josie and I to
his aunt's this morning where we
stayed to dinner, then to his two
married sisters, and married brother,
through the vilage of Sargents Bluff,
and back again to his fathers. I have
just had a gay time and feel just as well
almost as can be. this little visit has
done me lots of good. We shall go as
far as Elk Point tomorrow and finish
and tell me the very day I think you will
be home in about four weeks. O how I wish
it were here now. my dear boy I do so much
want to see you. mother sends her love.
