Dear Son Willie:

We have a beautiful day. The sun shone yesterday but it was rather cool. This morning reveals a heavy frost last night but the weather is moderate. 7LtMs, Lt 79, 1891, par. 1

The barn is being done. Cannot get lumber for the house until next Monday. Paxton says they will have several hands put on then and drive it through. 7LtMs, Lt 79, 1891, par. 2

In regard to Miller, I have written to him. You can send this letter if you think it best or not; just as you deem it best. 7LtMs, Lt 79, 1891, par. 3

We waited for the iron for cover to soapstone stov,e and finally we had the foundry man come up and let [the] mill cast a cover for stove. The wheels we have not sent yet. Will, I think, today, if we can get Bro. Starr to look after it. We want to know if any wheels are coming from Mason, because I want to order from George Lay if none are coming. We want to use our carriage. We shall take the horse from stable, I hope tonight. 7LtMs, Lt 79, 1891, par. 4

All well as usual. I have looked for a line from you but none comes. Shall I sign the deed of St. Helena property on their own terms, which do not look to be fair? But what is best in the end is the question. 7LtMs, Lt 79, 1891, par. 5

Love to the children and all the household. Tell May and Addie I want to hear from them very much; especially I want to know how May Walling is getting along. 7LtMs, Lt 79, 1891, par. 6

Mother.
