My dear Boy;
I guess you think you are ne ver going to hear from the home
again.  I received your letter last Tuesday; thought Iwould write right
off but Bertie was taken so much worse I waited f or him toget a little
better before writing to you.  This morning he is a li ttle better, we
think.  He has been sick a good deal as "Doll" was, but not s o severean
attack.  Oh, you don't know how pale and poor he has grown.  Some time I
fear he is going into consumption, but we will hope for the best and d o
the best we can for him.
I have some very sad news to write to you.  I rec eived a letter
last week from your Aunt Delia, Ell's wife.  She wrote that yo u uncle Ell
(Loomis) was dead.  He died the 19th of March.  He died of pneumo nia.  He
was sick three weeks; thought that he would get well, had his senses to
the last.  He had sold his farm and was all packed up to go to Dakota,
was going tostart Wednesday but was taken sick Monday.  He leaves a wife
and four children.  She wrote she did not know what she would do.
When I think of it, I can'trealize the Ell and Doll are dead.
Gone from my sight forever, never, never more to see them.  I cannot
describe the sorrow and anguish it b rings to my heart, but I pray that I
may be resigned to my lot and when my ti me comes to leave you, I may be
prepared to meet them in Heaven where parting and tears are known no
more.  Gale, I do hope you will become a Christian. We do not know how
soon you or I will be called from here, death is in our la nd.
How soon we may be called to cross the dark river of death.
Let us be p repared to meet it.Perhaps this will be the last letter that
I shall ever w rite to you and I entreat you with the mother's love to
turn to Jesus and be a brave Chrisitan boy.
We had quarterly meeting here last Sunday.  Will Parish and Rit
Brown, SidSupervisors; Van Ornam, Treasurer; Kendle, Clerk: Anderso n,
Assessor.  School will commence next week.  Agnes Shaw will teach.
Your f ather said perhaps he would send for you the last of the
week, it was all owi ng to what kind of weather we had.  Geroge (Jones)
Guy, Harry Potter, have be en drawing poles upfrom Doll's to make a
fence.  The snow is all gone but so me drifts along thefences.
I had a letter from your Uncle Rush.  They have a new horse and
carriage.  Fred Parrish has got to be a daddy.  It is a boy.  H ope this
will findyou well.  Write soon.  Yours with much love.  Ethel sends some
kisses.  Goodbye.
