ARIZ. MAY 17, - 1908,
Dear Friends,
I have just heard of your sad bereavement and wish to extend my sympathy to you all. Not having heard that your dear mother had been ill, the news of her death was a surprise and shock. Having passed through a like experience I can truly sympathize with you; how lonely and forsaken you must feel! The greater the care they have been to us, the more we miss them when they are gone. But since we live in a world where everything changes, most of us have to go through these sad bereavements; oftentimes they teach us valuable and necessary lessons which we should be quick to learn and profit by. I trust that you all, are enjoying good health.
May our Heavenly Father keep, bless and protect you all.
Very truly your friend,
Louis

Ellen, Dear Sister,
You have been very sick and now are better, and able to be around, and are improving very fast, after six weeks of sickness. This I read in the paper. Our John has sent, with all other news about there, We all are very glad to know that you are getting along so nicely and hope you soon will be well and have good health again.
At one time while you was sick we had arranged our affairs so that I could go down and see you and all, but just as we got our plans fixed we received a postal from Nellie that you was getting better - also the paper said so too and I did not go. We read in the paper that Mary Lib was there with you and that Sherbet went down in his automobile, but do not know whether Mary Elizabeth went home with him when he went back we see by the paper that David has had an operation on his other eye and is doing well, by this we are
leed to believe that all of you are getting along very well except Charlie as we do not know how much assistance is required to help him, I was up to Grants a few days ago, they are feeling quite proud over their flock of chickens. they have over seventy, about fourty will be large enough for fourth of July broilers.
Some time ago I made his chicken yard larger, took half of his garden ashes in and garbage and other stuff that has to be carted away – it may not be long job to build the fence and outhouse.
If you are well enough to write do so – if not ask David to give all the news.
If the paper should stop some of us might write more often; and wishing that you and all others are well. . . . all are well here.
With Regards to all
S. G. [Barker]
