Doubtless you already know that Uncle Charlie's have moved back to Des Moines and he is now in a clothing store. He was here a little while this afternoon, said they were all well. I have not seen any of Uncle Doctor's for two or three days but suppose they are well. Minnie spends one night out of the week with us usually and we wonder what is the matter if she does not come at least that often. We have been expecting Laura every day almost for the last week or two, and begin to fear she is going to disappoint us. We rec'd her letter a few days ago. Well I am waiting for her to come when I can talk so much easier than write. I received a letter from Ma a week ago that she and Pa expected to visit us by the middle of the month and we have heard nothing since. Now write to us soon and I will promise to do better. Give our love to all and with love to your self I close. As ever, Mary I.B.
