Dear Mother and brothers

scratch a few lines to you
to let you know that we
are all well at present and
have been ever since Samuel
left.
John and his folks is
here today

Dans folks is only but middling
Mary is not verry stout and
Dan has been sick for about
two weeks with the pleurisy
I received a letter from
you Samuel about two
weeks ago stating that you
were all well and that
it was so wet that you
could not plant corn
it is altogether different
here it
has been the driest
spring i ever saw it has
only rained onc or two light
showers since you left here
the wheat is going to be
verry light in consequence
of the drouth through May=
the corn and potatoes looks
well
Meadows is going to be
light i
sowed eight acres
of hungarian grass if there
should be occasional rains i
will have hay plenty
the health of the neighb
orhood is good at present
i want you to writ soon
and send me all the
particulars
tell David
to write me a letter once
more and try me again
Old Mother Jefferies has
got better again is able to be
up and about a part of the
time
I will have to close my
letter as i have a chance
to send it to the office
you must excuse me for
not writing sooner as i have
been verry [throng] and no
wet days
our best respects to Mother and
all enquiring friends

this so no more at present
but remain yours
