Dear [Granddaughter],

Thanks for your nice long letter. Am sure you looked a long tine[sic] and oh how slow I am at writting[sic].

Can imagine you had confusion when the freshmans arrived. That is to be expected.

No caint[sic] quite understand how you did two jobs at once. But glad you like your jobs. You are right have seen your parents stretch and get extra things done.

Speaking of Church – What are you doing there? Explain. You had examples all your life. Please don’t neglect that great work.

Yes I like your thinking. Learn your limits and adjust to it. Job well done.

Thanks for telling me how you feal[sic]. Sounds like you are on the right track.

Be interested to hear what you have come up with by January.

So glad you love or like your Brother. I too am proud of him and feal[sic] he’ll be a good missionary. We’ll keep in touch with him.

No we can’t stand still. Cause the days roll by (to[sic] fast at times). We strive to learn and with the Holy Ghost & Spirit of God may we make right choises[sic].

The storm Emily didn’t do trouble here. Not bad at Henry & Va. Wind high but no damage at their house.

Henry and Va. are coming by 18 Oct and I’ll with them to Temple. Work Tuesday and till noon Weds want[sic] that be great.

7 Oct I bought a new couch and 2 Blonde(?) Rustly Red recliners for the Den. Looks nice. Multipal[sic] colors check. Blue bage[sic] and brown. Sits good. Now making new drapes. Off White in Color.

Canned lot of apples. It has turned cool so have had a fire in heater. Still use wood for a while.

I am fealing[sic] better surely hope will be a long time before get a Cold and Cough again. Am on a medicine to heal the bronchical tubes.

State fair this next week. No I want to go.

Take care.

Love you

Grandma
