Letters to Ellen Mowrer Miller from Sarah, 1869-1905

Don't think Gally an ugly horse he and I are good friends. he landed me safe at my home door half an hour past two o'clk. I found them all well and looking for my return - if all is well we will visit you again this fall - I should like to see & hear of Mother often - and there is little Rollie - what a charm of a babe. I don't wonder you think him so nice -
It is quite hot today - the other day we took seven teen bushels of wheat to Locks Mill - will get the flour Saturday. Corn is too high to make good flour sooner. Our Sunday School is just two miles away .
This is all at present - My love to Mother and to the rest of you - from your sister.
Sarah A. Rhoad.
Write or come over when convenient.
Make mother some good sage tea. Some Saffron blossom tea. and sweeten them with coarse white sugar. and other good garden teas that you may think of - Sassafras root tea is good to - don't take no, but have Mother learn to drink of those medicinal teas - we have so many garden beans I wish mother had lots of them to eat- S.A.R.
