Randolph, Utah
June 14-36
Dear Son,
My Dear Boy we received your letter of May 17 last night and
was [were] very glad to hear from you and to know you were well and enjoying
your labors. We are all in fine shape up here. Winnie has been home here for
the past ten days and we sure enjoy her company, she is a wonderful daughter.
You ask about the river, it got so high that it ran over the
road on the other side of the bridge in Uncle Alfs pasture. We have plenty of
water although it is some what lower now it was quite cold here for a few days
so that is the reason it fell down, but I think there is enough snow left yet
to make it come up again.
I traded with Louie
Molouf the Jew a week ago and got a bay mare, she is a lot like the old
Dot mare that I let the D.L. and L.S. co. have on the old sheep, I quite like
her. I guess by the time you get this letter we will be getting ready to put up
the hay again. We are working
On the Church Building program. We have torn all the old
wood floor and wainscoating [sic] out of the basement and he [in] the opera
house, soon to the windows in the blocks. When you come home we will have the
new ones all broken in.
We had a farewell last Wed. nite for Wayne, he is in the
mission home now. (he is so thrilled as Aunt Bess would say), he goes down to
the Southern States. He will be home now before you are. I was talking to Don
Mc. Roy is in Montana now, he is enjoying his labors very much.
Bob Wamsley is [in] the state of Kentucky, his father said
he had had the pleasure of sleeping in an old school house. He said he nearly
froze before morning came. Dallas has been put in as District President.
Quite a few of the people are down to June Conference so we
had a very small meeting, it was held in the evening. We need to come out in
the mission field and get a new flock. I must close now, asking the Lord to
Bless and inspire you so you may fulfill and [an] honorable mission and be a
credit to yourself.
With lots of Love,
Your Father P.H. Rex
