Dear Sis.
I was about to think you wasn’t going to answer me letter, as we think we ought to get a letter from you every week.
Lemone came up this morning and stayed all day with us to-day, she always talk so much when we ge to-gether, that we sure don’t get any work done.
Virgie you ask me about, buying that Dress well, I sure want oh, but I’ve got $7.00 coming to me but I’ve got to get me some slippers + I had promised to buy Edgar a pair of slippers + Arthur a pair of pants, so I hate not get them for them but if you don’t know any body you can sell it to, right now, if you want to sell it to me, and let me have till last of this month to pay for it I’ll buy it. Send it to me now, as quick as you can, and I’ll pay a dollar on it now. And I’ll get any now three day of work this month working up at the school house and I will have three dollars last of this month and if you want to credit me that long send the dress on to me.
Arthur went up town yesterday. He went to get his teeth fixed. It seems like I miss him worse than any the rest in the family because he help me more with the work, he always drys the dishes, of night after supper. Dad was aim to go to town to-tday but he wasn’t feeling much like it. And I think he has decided he wouldn’t go.
Mama went over to Ma, a little while ago she hadn’t been over there for about a month. I got a letter from Cora to-day I put on half of my time writing letters. But I am afraid you you can’t read this as my pencil isn’t any account, and we are so poor we can’t by another one. I can’t write more I have to go and wash
From your loving sis Marie
