Dear Brother!
We received your letter dated Jan. 4th and we were so glad that you are well yet, we are well to. I wish you was here and then we could talk with you, and you would have a better time here then you have down there and then you could sleep in a warm bed again. Little Alvina is such a little______girl that we must sometimes laugh at her. She can’t ________yet, but I think she will walk soon, she eats most all what we eat, and she can say papa and mama. I don’t know what else to write so I will close.
My best respects to you.
Your sister

We received your letter feb.___. We have got inglish school again here ________is Elater, and we must speak and spell Fridays when the school is almost out. Here is but a little snow now, but here is so much ice that we can skate on all sloughs. But I think it is not so cold here and I believe that the ice here will melt soon to. Now I will close and give my best respects to you.
Your brother
