Dear mother

As I have got so much to do I can not write much this time. Will write a long letter soon as we get settled again. I am making the babes some aprons to night and lining the baby a coat. I dyed it scarlet. Will send piece of the aprons. Will try and send something for the children later.

Hatties is a big girl by this time I suppose. Wish you all have your picture taken. I want one. Well I will have to go to bed it is 10 oclock.

Hattie wants you to write to her. She said to tell you the little tree Pa sent her is growing fine. What do you think is the reason you have not heard from Os. How far is it from where you live.
