Dear Brother Nathan,

I have been owing you a letter (and I guess several) for a long time. Thought when I wrote David I should write you very soon but have not done it yet. Mrs. Munroe has been with me several weeks (left for home last Saturday) and I have been cleaning house &c so that I have been very busy. I enjoyed Mrs. M's visit very much. Wish you could have visit- ed us while she was here. She spoke of your last visit to her and of how much she enjoyed it; said you promised to write her and she looked for a letter from you for a long time. She seemed as ever and would not be satisfied without she was aiding me in some way all the time. She told me of Areli's illness and all about Marietta friends and things. Do you know how Areli is? When you write there give much love to her from me. How is your health now and how is David and has he received my letter? Lydia has just come to be with us
