Dear unkle and family
This eve
finds us all well as usual except
rheumatism which bothers me a great
deal my knees are so lame I can
hardly get around but
must keep on
the move. well unkle
I was of the
impression that I had
answered your
letter of aug the first
– and was wondering
why you did not
answer then anna
told me she did not
believe you would
write until I
answered your last- So
now I just ask you to
forgive me this
time and I will try
and be more prompt
in the future. well now unkle I never
heard anything in regard
to unkle
joes death at the
time you wrote
you had not got any
of the
particulars now let
me know > over
no 2
what was the matter and all
the particulars also aunt Ellas
address as I may take
a notion to
write to her. Also any news you
may have from Father
as through
you is the only news
I ever here from
him and although they
have cut me
from ther list – you
know he is
my father and I am
ancious to
here from him for he
is a verry old
man and cant expect
to stay long
now unkle I never here from the
girls are they still
in the store and
is norms boy still at
Flint I was
out to Flint last week and if I
new anny thing of him
I would hunt
him up Well this has not been a real
good year here Corn is not good oats
was a light crop wheat
only fair
hey verry light to
much wet and
cold in the spring
and to dry in
the summer there is no apples nor
No 3
fruit of any kind to speak
of my business was only fair
this summer will be alone in
business after this
fall as my
pardner goes out as soon
as
we can settle up our
years business.
he is a good fellow
but no
hustler can sell gold dollars
for 30 ȼ so I think I
will do better
alone as I have all
to do and
then split the proffits
with him
Hey is $15.00 per ton oats 35 ȼ corn
70 per bus but I have
no horse now
as I sold my driver a
few days
ago for $200 I will buy one as soon
as I find one that suits me and
find the man that
wants to sell
as I always buy so I
can make
a little when I want
to sell
we went out to Lapeer to visit Amos and
family a couple of weeks ago
had a
fine time with the
little boys > over
No 4
Amos has three boys
the oldest is
six past and the next
is just in his
fifth year the youngest is a little over
one year old but the two oldest are
deaf cant hear but not mutes as they
can talk a
little they are as bright
as a new dollar the to deaf boys are
now in Flint at the
School for the
deaf started the 26 of last month
it was hard to let
the little fellows
go but it was the
only way as they
must go to school but
Amos lives
22 miles from Flint
and they go to
see them every
week I
do so hope the
little fellows wont
get homesick we
will go to see them
some time this
winter the little fellows new when we were
out there that they
were going to school
Amos and his wife
could tell them any
thing and they
understood as well as if
they could here I must close as I have written
more than you can
read write soon and all the news
now don’t do as I
did but answer at
once as I shall count
the days until
I here from you I remain yours
