My dear Ma
Will write a few lines to you. I got a card
this morning from Loena and a letter from Maude Clarks wife,
I got your dear letter it was written so nice the first one

adn a kitchen. I had a letter from Clark after he was up to
see you he said Charlie Metz was there to see you and Bro, Long
has been to see you I am so glad did it seem good, it is a beautifull
day here I have the Windows up, I went to meeting yesterday

if you Praise Him, love from Emily

the pages of Eliza Burdick's bible. They are not dated
and it is not known in which order they were written.
