My dear Sisters.

                        I do not hear a

word from you, & perhaps you wait for me to write? If so, you must nit, any more; for I desire so much to hear from you often; do write often, if only a few words, that I may know you, & your family are well, or otherwise---

  We have all been to Church, &

I am so tired this evening, I cannot write well, or interestingly. I fear--- Brother John, Mary, & myself went--- as hard & as fast as possible, so I could go this A. M.

   Breakfast to get, & the usual morning

chores, as feeding chickens -- caring hay & water to the Bossy --milk to skim & pens to scald-- sweeping & till the time was at hand that we must get ready for church, so as to be in season --- As soon as I got home the supper must begot ready, & then the night chores come on one after another, & it is nearly 9 o'clock--

Our garden looks well -- string beans in plenty now-- My Strawberries yielded a Hauntious[sp] Harvest--

The Denverites [?] quite well at last account from them -- gave into Camp [?] in the Mountains [?] wish you & the boys would come & make me a visit.
