My dear Sister,

                        I do not hear a

word from you, & perhaps you wait for me to write? If so, you must not, 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--- I was up & dressed at 6, & worked as hard & as fast as possible, so I could go this A. M.

   Breakfast to get, & the usual morning

chores, as feeding chickens -- carrying hay & water to the Bossy --milk to skim & pans to scald-- sweeping &c 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 be got ready, & then the night chores come on one after another, & now it is nearly 9 o'clock--

[written on left-hand side of the page] Our garden looks well -- string beans in plenty now-- My Strawberries yielded a bountious Harvest--

[written sideways above the date] 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. Tell Chandler & Rhoda I wish they would come with their children-- Now "good night" with best of wishes for you all-- Your Affec. sister, Emily
