". . . We are all very well except Mother but she is feeling much better this morning than she has for some time. Pap is out in the garden planting onions. I have been working for three weeks, and you can not think how much better I feel . . . I weigh one hundred and fifty seven pounds and I think I can handle any one of the Custer family the Gen. included. I will tell you what I am going to do. I am not going to school this term . . . I hope you will not find fault with my doing so . . . We are all waiting patiently to see you home once more. We like our new home very much but as for Mother I can not say . . . if you delay writing to me as long as before there will be a fuss in the camp."
