    My Dear Son,

    …Am very sorry to hear you have been bothered with boils and styes but hope they won't come back any more. You look to be in perfect health in your picture. What is the reason of it taking them so long over pictures. Have you been having some alterations. I hope you have had those wrinkles on your coat sleeve fixed, and a bust picture made of it. Then it would be simply fine. I have postponed writing to Lena expecting the pictures every day.

    I think I had better declare the whole thing off with Lena as I have all the courting to do and I am about tired of it. You can blame Pa for it. Now he is beginning to think you have not time to bother with girls. Besides when you want one it will be very easy to get a bushel of them.

    That was a pretty slippery letter from Cushing. You may be sure it was not his love of you made him write. He is a snake in the grass, beware of him. Don't give him any help or knowledge about your business. I need not say any more about him as he is not worth the time and space to talk about him.…

    Your loving Mother
