Dear brother,
How are you getting along by this time. I have been writing every Sunday untill yesterday. We had company for dinner. Mr. Wm. Vail furnished a chicken so I got dinner for him. Willie, Luella, John Wesley and Donald came over in the after-noon awhile. Hall's children came down in the afternoon stayed quite a while in the evening so you see I didn't have much chance to write.
I suppose mamma has told you Rella had sold out to Rob Snow. What do you think of that. Rella has bought that place George Davis used to own. If I had been Stella I would hated to part with it. They had it fixed up so nice. Willie's received his questionnaire to day. It is hard to tell how it will turn out.
Dr. Larimore goes this Wednesday as a War Dr. I don't know how we will get along. Well Johnny, I have got it in my side as bad as ever. Can't get any more of my medicine. Bert Rush has the Fluenza not able to be in the store so I don't know when they will send for any more. The druggist wife over at Centerburg is at the point of death with that disease too so we don't want to go there after it.
I haven't been home for over 4 wks. I don't like to go to Sparta. Dell Mitchell has influenzy. It is so contagious. Van Sickle's children have the mumps so has Ethel Kenney. We are exposed to them, but haven't got them yet. Mamma walked over here Tue. morning. We got weighed. Mamma weighed 116 and I 115. Don't you think we are going some for two ladies ha.ha.
Floyd is well. The rest are all well. Coreta went back to Mildred Bell's last night. It will make her two wks and a half if she stays all wk this wk. Willie is hauling us some wood to day. We have been having nice weather. Rained last night and this morning. Quit raining and turned quite a bit cooler. We got 50 cent a dozen for eggs last wk, but I'm afraid I won't have a dozen to sell this wk.
Will close. Hoping to hear from you soon.
From your sister Rose

Tomorrow Willie and I will be married 5 years.
