Correspondence to Ellen Mowrer Miller in Boone County, Iowa from family in Pennsylvania, Iowa and South Dakota, 1865-1890

008-04

next week will be half of the term.
Yes we did take that celebrated Rippey 
News  and to our supprise one came home 
the other day ( I mean the paper) It looked as if had grown some during its vacation 
Did you get a copy Your ask if I ever had seen him? Y-es a little more reserve 
would not hurt his paper. We had no preaching nearer than Maple Grove over two 
miles. At Rippey it is most to far to attend church . We have a church about half a mile
west but there has been no services held for quite a while At Rippey at the Presbyterian church
they use Cooks papers. Well I must bring this letter to a close as it is getting late.
My love to Grandma and to all.

                                               Your loving niece 
                                                        Maud R. Rhoad.
