Flora sayes she is going to write to you some o these dayes, so look out. I should not wonder if she had her eye on the young darling, as he is going to school here. The chilldren send their love to pa, mine included, your obediant servant, A. L. John, remember what I have wrote to you about your health, your wife, Mary Ann Larimer John Wesley John, I am going to give you a little surcumstance about this letter. Ann went home the morning after she wrote this letter, she told me to send it out the first mail. I went to get it to mail and I could not find it untill yesterday. Mary was up there, she asked Ann about it. she said she had put it in a little basket that set on the stand and it was taken up staires so you must excuse this letter for being so long on the road. We see the letters from you yesterday which we will answer soon. Nancy
