We are all pretty well at present and hope this will find ye in the best of health. We are having very fine weather here, there was all a little Snow-storm last Saturday but it is all wanted in the woods. Mr. and Mrs John Sullivan were in last tuesday, and Miss White, and Miss Katie Doyle gave us a call. Sullivan drank Neds health Please follow on now to page 3. Mike and mother were in to see Auntie [Elin] last wednesday, she is pretty well now. Her and the old man are all alone. Jack is at the mill, it will start on monday. Father and mother were in to see Bernetta Caroll today, she is pretty poorly keeping the bed most of the time. We got our flour from the mill on Thursday and mailed ye two papers, two worlds we could not get any other late paper. Well we got all the rails home and 38 loads of wood, we hauled 10 loads with the colt. I let her out one evening and father thought she was getting fractious so we took her back to the woods and brought out a few a few sticks, after the second or third trip she brought pretty good loads, but they did not seem to bodder her Before that she used to try to [rare] sometimes going to water One time after rolling she made a jump and a squeel at me like a Stallion. She is feeling pretty good Now, I think if she got oats and doing nothing she would be pretty wild. The old horse is the same as usual, fat and quite but he is all right. It was Mrs A Russell shop-keeper that was asking about you. Old Mrs Looke has died last Thursday.
