Scope and Contents

In answer to his request for information about moneys received from him his Father lists the amount, the date received and by whom. The expenses of commencing housekeeping and farming in a new country are very great and without the money he has sent, besides the money his sister who apparently writes most of the letter gives, they would not have succeeded. They will shortly be able to repay him. The sister took the chills and fever and had to leave St. Mary's but she is getting well again. At Wapakoneta they have a German priest who comes two Sundays a month. They have a band for music in the church. They have had a backward spring and made little sugar. In time they expect to have good crops. In the spring election Mr. McFarland was elected a trustee and J.E. was made a supervisor. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
