My dear Sister,
We were very glad to hear from you through Mr. Coldwell but sorry to hear of your sickness and hope by this time you have entirely recovered. Nothing of interest has transpired in this neighborhood since I last wrote you. The people of Chicks Springs and surrounding Country are making extensive preparations for an exhibition which comes of tomorrow night
we were expecting you and the girls up about that time. As sis King had invited Mary to come, Mother has been sick for several days but is better again Johns family is well but is out threshing wheat the wheat is not as good as people expected.
we are beginning to need rain very badly. gardens are entirely burnt up.
Etta is as pretty as ever she can get up by a chair. her and her Pa is having to play while I write, she sends a kiss to you all. She and I went to Mr. Vaughns yesterday after noon to see Mary and her baby
Mrs Foster has been quite sick not expected to live but is better again. and Aunt Suckey [?] has fallen and hurt herself very badly. I have been looking every evening for two weeks for you to come do try and come as soon as you can stand the ride Mother often speaks of the week we spent with her as being one of the happiest she ever spent, and now do come and stay a few days at least and I think the up country will help you
Mr Bailey joins me in love to you all he is having a very good school —
I will close — Your sister Vic - Relation
