Dear Sister & Bro

As Sue has left space for me I will try & write some tonight. I am some what tiard as I have been stacking oats all day. Nona is as well as ever again. we wer so afraid that it would injure her mind but thank the Lord it did not. Helen I send you a cliping of the harvest excursons. why cant you take advantage of the cheap rates & come out to see us. Why cant you & Cary Woolf come together. it would do you boath so much good. tell her of it & make up your minds to come. you can get ticketts over the Browning Road. when you write tell us what you think about it. we think that you boath could come. if you would only think so. I think if you would that Pa would go back with you for a while I think it would do him good but I dont want him to go untill your hot weather is over because I dont think he could stand such hot weather as you are having. those excursions gives you 30 day to come & go from the time you start untill you get back. come if possible. we will try & make your visit as pleasant as possible. Helen you cant imagine how lonely we are. of cours it seames hard for you & will [illegible] of it but it is much harder for us to bair as she was our every day companion but it is all for the best I suppose.

Late has told you all about her funeral I suppose. if he has not we will tell you in our next. Yes I know you will miss her good long letters for we all depended on her to write you & she could write such good letters I read her last letter that she comenced to you. Oh how little did she think when that last word she wrote that she would never write another word. for it was just the day before she was killed & how she laughed that day at dinner about two hours before that awful shock. I can see her now as she sit at the table with Blanch in her arms. Oh dear I never can forget that dreatfull moment when we ran down sellar to see if any of them was hurt. It dont seam possible that it is as it is. I want you both to write often to some of us & we will try and do the same. Be sure & come. Cary can come with you if you can only make her think so. I must quit now & go to bed. Oh yes. Ed Carters father and mother is out here on a visit. do you ever remember of seeing them in Ohio. they like the country very much. Pa & Eds father have great times visiting together. They went to Mill today togather & we told them this morning before they started not to get to talking so much that they would forget to come home or leave the road & get lost.

Write Soon
as ever your
Brother L.W.
