Dear Mother we received your letter
last week and was glad to hear
that you was well and have a good hired
girl to help you I have no girl yet Mother
you wrote you would like to have me
send you some strawberries They are
all gone I did not have a great many
because I was not able to pick them
I am ashamed to say we  have
not been to meeting but once or twice
since we have been in this state I was
not able to go the most of the time  and
Henry did not like to go alone and
then we have not had  any way to go
only in a double wagon you wanted
to know where Kate was she is  teaching
school and boards at home Mother you 
wanted to know if I thought Kate and
Thomas would a match I do not in any
preparations only Thomas talks of buying a
farm Kate and Thomas is a going to attend
the fourth but I do not think they will be
married Thomas goes to see Kate once in
two weeks so our little girls says
