Dear Brother
	  	your letter I
received two days since
and I take the present
opportunity to write to you.
     we are all well here, and
getting along verry well
considering all things.
     we have got the work
about all done. Alex & me
went yesterday & made
cider. this is the fourth
time we have made cider
this fall. we have about
Sixteen barrels. it sells
for about 18@cts per Gallon
$50. Dolls worth of apples so
you can see we will make
pretty well out of the orchard
   this Season.

George is up to Johnsons
I do not know how long he
means to Stay there. I
Suppose you know that 
Sarah and Almond. are married.
Miss Varnie teaches school
there this winter. Rosella
Campbell teaches in the
[Frick?] District. Diantha
Hurd in Thayers & a Sister
of Ollivers Millers wife teaches
at the center.
   they had a dance to
Downeys since we have been
Home. Alex & me were there
     Father is up to Loveland
now has been up there about
a week.
     the weather here is veryy
fine now. & we have had no
snow to speak of yet. we 
have not hardly fed anything
yet the fall has been so fine

we have built a log stable thirty
feet long. & got out some lumber
& fixed up a sheep shed so we
are pretty well off for Shelter
this winter. we think of
building a barn next summer
          Now I dont Expect you
will get out of the Service much
before your time is out. but
that wont be long. I would
advise you to look out for
your money, and save all you can
and then you will have something
to work with when you do get
discharged. I dont know wether
Alex & me will stay here or not.
but probably will not go away before
you get back.
      tell Allen I seen his
folks a few days ago they were
all well. give him my
best respects. Alex. has 
gone up to Loveland today

[two words illegible] & Frank Downey are
Home, also well. Husted.
    I beleive there is nothing
new around here.
     write when you get time
     from your Brother
