Please except my love and best wishes, I mean both of you and please give my love to [Johannes? Johanna?] and William, tell them I hope they are good and love to go to school. My dear, all [inacand?] Mr. Edison and learn there bookes so they can make smart men for Morther. I was glad to heare from you through dear Grace. She received a letter yeterday and she said it was for me so I listened to it as I do to all the others she gets from you. I was so glad to learn that all were as well as [can be?]. I do hope these few times will find all well and happy today and not worsening over dreames or any other thing, we must take our dreames contrary and always look on the bright side of everything, let life be a sunbeam, always cheering and making everyone happy and doing good to all around. I did wish so much that you and Mr. Edison was with us commencement day, we think Grace did well also, most all the class Grace receieved so many very nice presents all so good but we all missed you and dear Mamie so much, but that is the way things will work sometimes. We will have to make the best of them and hope all is right. We were all at Sunday school and church this morning and enjoyed the services very much. We are having quite a good deal of snow now and it lookes very much as though we were going to have more before night. Eddie and Jennie will [-----?] Studebaker and other young folkes were at the [Fralles?] for a sleigh ride last evening. They seemed to have a good time and say the sleighing is good, I expect Grace has tolde you all the newes as she commence her letter yesterday, but I will tell you Jennie and I went to Father [Morell's?] funeral Driday at 1 o clock, he did look so nice, it seemed as though he was just taking a pleasant sleep.
