My dear friend Mrs. Woollet:
I have so often thought of writing
to you, and have just as often put
it olT. Wo are uwuy out here,
three thousund miles from my
native state aud so many of my
loved ones.
Lucy and I left Huntingdon the
10th of last June, spent some
time iu Harrisburg with Lillie.
and left Pennsylvania the lilth of
July. We went to Mount Ver
non, Missouri, and had a nice vis
it of six weeks with Phebe and
Mac. We left them the JiDlh of
August and arrived in CreutFalls,
Montana, tho ud day of Septem
ber, and Lucy went into the
school room the ,'th, she having
only two days to rest from our
long journey. Site is real well
and likes her school work very
much.
Tho climate here is line, only
the high winds are objectionable.
At present we tire having lovely
weather. The winter has not
been severe. We have hud some
very cold weather, but it did not
last long at any time.' We have
had several blizzards, the like of
which I don't care to seo any
more.
Last week, one evening, just as
Parker was going out the door to
go to pray or meeting, ho said,
"Listen at it raining." We all
ran to tho door to hear it, ' for it
was something so uow it was
the first rain we had since Sep
tember. We all stood on the
lorch to enjoy it aud said, "Dou't
it seem like Pennsylvania." June
is the raiuy month here, after
which it does not rain for nearly
a year. The altitude being so
high, and our having no damp,"
raiuy weather, are reasons why
it is so healthful hero.
We are all enjoying good health,
for which we aro very thankful.
I often think of my friends in
McCouuellsburg aud wouder how
they are progressing iu the Chris
tian life. Do you have a W. C. T.
Ui There's a ..great field for
work in that lino here; this is a
Godless place, aud there is much
to bo done for tho uplifting of hu
manity. I could make good use
of the temperance literature I
left with you if I had it here.
Remember mo kindly to the
friends. I will bo very glad to
hear from you at any time.
