The 24th of this month was Jossie's birth day. if she had lived she would have been 22 years old. but she has left us only six months ago. it seems to me but yesterday - I asked Willie what I should tell you for him. he said "tell him I am down to Grand pa's playing as hard as I can all the time." He is a pretty good boy though dont like to mind overly well although he does it. He would come down home with me. there was no keeping him at home. How often do you visit Peru? have you got Jossie's grave fixed yet? please tell me about it the next time you write. When Areli comes home we are going up to Marietta to make a visit together. if it is pleasant weather. I guess you or I will have to go up that French letter. I commenced writing it last week but it was such slow work and so hard I had not time to finish it, so I stopped. I have three or four more letters to write today so I guess I shall have to stop. for I can [illegible] nothing to write. but please write to us soon for if you don't we think you are sick. and if you were. there is no good Jossie to write to us as often as she used to and tell us when she was sick or well. you asked me long time ago if I would not try and get [illegible] that bad Jossie's death in it but I have not as yet completed with your request but will do so soon as I can write soon and excuse all mistakes from your affectionate sister Libbie Stedman
