    My Dear Son,

    …I used to look forward to you coming home this time of the year and wonder what good things I could make for you and get for you, but that is all over. I think you will have to get married and have some one that can stay with you and cook for you all the time.

    We talk and wonder very often what to do. We are both beginning to feel we would like to have our own home.… Sometimes I would like to live here and sometimes would sooner go back to America. If you can help us to decide we would be glad of it, what do you say in this matter?

    Bill Todd is not improving very fast. There is quite a lot of blood comes from him very often, big clots. He does not look very well. He has a big fat lazy wife.… We watched her and another woman go in the saloon the other night. She is out nearly every night. You would be amused to see boys and girls out walking with their arms arround one another. I don't think Americans would do that.…

    We were glad to hear about those fine operations you performed. What does Cushing say about them and what do the others say who are talking. It must be hard on the nerves.…

    Your loving Mother
