Jolley Family correspondence, 1887-1919

1918-03-26 Letter from Mrs. L.J. Baker Page 6

dren too like to write to us, we have had several letter from little Bernise and two from Helen. Ida's boy takes after his grandpa Lung. He is 6 ft 4 in tall. My he does look so tall and his is slim too but maybe after a while he will flesh up some and then will look fine. Tom thinks his grandson is a pretty fine boy. Bernise is learning fast in school. You know Ludwige came back and are bining on their place again and Clarence goes to school and makes lots of trouble with the other children. Too bad the climate of Oregon did not agree with Mrs. L.  She has not changed a bit in her ways but is fleshier and so is Neta, and John too. Neta always drives "my car" and John rides with her. Did you know that Jess Ellis, Aaron Beaver's son in law bought Root's place for $160 per acre? I don't think he had much to pay down on it either, but Iowa land is surely going up. Oh; I wonder what will be the end of this awful war. Well write to me as soon as you can. With kindest regards to you and Mr. Jolley and Wright, I am as ever. Your Friend, Mrs. L.J. Baker
