Dear sister
I received your letter the 13th.   I am so sorry you are going away so far   I have thought about you so much lately and I thought when the weather got warm you and the baby would come out here and make a good long visit and now you are going away   I don’t know wether I can come out before you go or not but I do want to see you   If I know of anyone going that way that I could go with maybe I will come but dont look for me   I went up to Uncle Levis last evening   They are well   Helen and Grace are both in Mansfield   I have been to Uncle Sams   He is down to Covert visiting   I heard today that Bert was going to move   If he does I will have to move my things away from there   I dont know wether George is going to move   He is carrying the mail from Cayuta to Swartwood   It is the route Guy Millspaugh had   Tell ma I will come and keep house with her if she wants me to but I would rather not come till next fall   I have not got my money yet and I want to get it before I go away   She can get a place to live and I will help her pay the rent just the same as though I was there   That is if she keeps well and then when I get ready I will move out there   Tell her I dont like the place where she used to live   I think it would be better to rent part of a house even if she has to pay more for it   Rent is quite cheap here but there is not much work to do   I wish you were not going away and I would like to see you all and if I were not such a booby I would   I shall have to bring my letter to a close for the old folks are going to bet and I shall have to go too   Goodbye and love to you all

P.S.  Tell ma I have not seen Mrs. B.   Tell her to write to me so I will know what she is going to do.
