Letters to Ellen Mowrer Miller from Sarah, 1869-1905

Andrew had his taken a couple of times. We take four papers now - have just stopped the Jefferson "Bee" one from Des Moines, one from Chicago one from Omaha, one from New York. Our farm paper from Chicago is a good one. 'The Farmers Review'. $1.25 year weekly
The Farmers Review. 134 Van Buren street, Chicago, Ill.
Long years ago we failed to have some presents for the children Chrismas but I had some nice chickens dressed the day before - next morning the little chaps ran to their stockings to see what 'Santa' brought them - they found he filled them with walnuts & chick meat - you speak of little Ray being quite sick - one of our boys was sick the same way when just as large as Ray - It is teething & it works hard on the nerves of some - our boy had spasms & was nervous quite a while - I saw Mother Page last Spring - she was quite active & smart to get around - I think she is now in Colorado she is 77 years old, I saw Martha too - she taught school a long time in Rippey - saw Ada Morse. They have lately gone to Washington Territory. We would be so glad to see you folks with us this summer - if all is well we may be able to return the compliment.
