Lottie -
I received your letter and was glad to hear from you. I received the things you sent and wish to thank you very much. Also thanks for flash light Marie brought. I intend to send you a letter birthday present but I haven't finished making it yet. I will send it soon as I can. I am sending you the story about the girl who was 19 years of age because that is now your age. But very soon you must leave your teens behind you. I thought the other story interesting as well as the fashion sheets.
I forgot to send the sample of the color of thread I wanted but thank you for what you sent. I will send a sample next time.
About the Reader's Digest I will say I just don't care for them. At present I have several magazines which I haven't yet read. But I would subject that you take the Reader's Digest and sell them to Kieser's book store which is not far from the Loyal hotel. Then with the money take it to help pay for a dictionary. I need a dictionary very much. Thanking you in advance.
You asked how Margaret is. G and Mrs. Nelson were up to see her a few weeks ago. G said she is not so good. Your cousin's address at Bancroft is Miss. Marie Norby. Route No. 2. Bancroft, Nebraska.
We had a letter from Elin a few days ago. She asks in her letter is Lottie is still in Omaha. When I write I will send your address.
Elin writes "Quote - We are all well except Marilyn. She got her finger hurt about 2 weeks ago. She was playing and got her 3rd finger in 2 gears. The Dr. seemed to think she would have a good finger. It tore the nail off. To-day school started here. Marilyn isn't going to start till her finger is healed better." (Unquote)
It was Marilyn's birthday the 11th of Sept. and she was 8 years old. Perhaps you would like to send her something in care of Elin. Address - Mrs. Ray Johnson, Kettle Falls, Washington (in care of the mines)
Wishing you many happy returns of the day for your birthday.
Write soon,
As ever,
I am,
Your Mother.
