Oswatomie. Jan. 11, 1884 Dear Eddie

I have nothing worthy of a letter to write. Wesley will go to town on an errand, so I will send this. Yesterday was rather a cold day, but today is still and sunshiny. I think our bad spell of weather is over. Henson Shafer is chopping this morning. He is a first rate chopper. Mr. Bullock has been milking, and is going to haul wood. I do not yet know what cattle I will sell. They are all now cows and heifers, except 9 steer calves (last spring's.) Heifers and cows are better sale than they used to be. I remember Owen Baxter well. He lived in Western for a long time. He used frequently to be at our house. Where is he living now, and what is he doing? Does Mr. Rhys G. Jones preach now? I am not gaining fast, or doing much, but I keep around most of the time. I try to rest all I can. Perhaps I will not recover strength till warm weather. I thank you for those pamphlets. Three of the smaller ones Elywir?) I had. The Vigil? was new to me & I find it interesting

Elywir = Welsh for "it is". This is a pure guess on my part. RMR
