I am in somewhat of a pickle. I have never heard a word from your Father yet; have looked for word to know what to do ever since he left. I don't like to write about it for fear they will think they have to keep me. So if I don't hear anything I guess I will stay at home.

Joseph⁴ and boys commenced digging potatoes this morning. They moved back to the cabin last Tuesday and took their big cook stove this time, so it looks as if they were going to stay awhile. I asked Maria⁵ if they were going to stay down there six months and she said, "No, we are not going to stay but a little while." Joseph told me the other day they were going to stay six months.

Eddie⁶ will likely be here before long to let Amasa⁷ go home as he will be needed there⁸ before the last of the month.

Charley⁹ does a little better since he came back. He was so saucy I felt like sending him away several times. I read your letter to him and I think he will remember what was in it. He is lots of help when he has a mind to be.

Mother went to Plain City on the Conference train to see about her father's property. Ma and her sister are going to sell the land and keep the house and lot.

I read the minutes of your Conference last evening. They were very interesting. The threshing is all done except one job.

Charley's father has never been to see us and I don't suppose he will. I thought maybe he would like to take Charley this winter if I went to Farmington. I have been filling bedticks this afternoon and shall commence house cleaning next week. I want my house clean if I do leave it.

Be good, remember your loved ones at home, and let us hear from you often. Love to Elders and friends and may God bless you all.
Your True Wife,

Pamelia
