dc.description.transcriptionWednesday night My Dear Carlton, We are having a nasty spell of weather now. It was real cold Sunday and Monday, but yesterday it got warm enough to rain and sleet – and has kept it up all night and today. It has not rained enough to do any good. Just enough to make it sloppy and nasty. We are getting along all right. Brother is has taken some cold and is coughing some tonight. I do wish he could get rid of this cough. It makes me uneasy, he seems unusually well, and cheerful, except this cough and always when he takes cold it is worse. I had a sick spell last Fryday and one again Sunday. I have been taking Heptol several days, and am feeling all right now. I had a letter from Bessie this morning. She is getting along all right in school. It is very cold out there and so very windy they can hardly step out of doors. Roy is getting along very well. The Dr. call in this morning to see how we were getting along. He said Roy was getting along remarkable well. He said sometimes it was months before there was any visible improvement in persons affected like Roy. He don’t sleep well yet, but they don’t always have to give him sleep. Carlie I don’t think we can move till you come. I have never thought for a moment that we could do such a thing if I did know Roy would get along just as well without me I would want to go right away but I cant do him any good by going. So I don’t think I ought to hurry. I don’t like the idiea [sic] of going out there to nothing. The children may not like well enough to want to stay there. Of course I will do what you all think best. I thought they would write to you and keep you posted about things. They have been real good to write to me. I sent the letters to sis as they had not written her she will send some of the letters to you so that you can have some idiea [sic] of that country. I will send you some Amarillo papers by this mail. Yes brother keeps me in books from the Library. I have read three of Jane Austin’s works. They are very interesting. We enjoyed reading them very much. We sleep so late these mornings that I don’t get much done I don’t wake before seven by the time we get breakfast and milk it is nine Brother wants to get to his work by eight but we have not made it yet. I think you better write to sister to put of [sic] the moving until you come. I dread so much going to that windy country don’t you I don’t see what we are going to do with the cows. I don’t think papa is thinking about taking them. We cant take them till November. If Roy had not got sick I would have just stayed here untill [sic] they could have gone. I will stop now I have worried you long enough. Much love, Mama
