My Dear Boy,
I will try and write you a few lines again it seems these
weeks roll around before we know it and
two weeks go by before we get a letter off to you it is almost shameful the way
we treat you by not getting a letter off each week. I understand you are
getting a letter from Evanston real often now so that may help to break the
time up a little that we fail.March 22 - 37.
My Dear Boy,
I hope you are well and continue to enjoy your labors as in the past we are all fine up here with the exception of Mothers stomach it still bothers her some she feels just fine at times then others she is not so well. Grand mother Rex is pretty good for her age, I wonder if you have ever written to her and sent her a picture of yourself she would think it very nice of you if you can spare the time to do so as I think she has enjoyed a letter from some of her other grandsons and I think my son one of the finest boys she has. I hope that neither of them ever do what some of the other Grandsons do. I think if you could see the way these little fellows crawl out in the morning when
We are having some real March weather snow, wind and slop around the yards. I think
that if I had money enough to travel one month out of the year it would be
March as it is so hard on the face and lips I would go to the warmer climate.
We had stake conference here yesterday a spiritual feast we
had apostle Merril up and he gave us 2 very fine talks it was just grand to sit
in the new Building every thing clean and nice some 428 people there and room
enough for 125 to 175 more we have been using it for everything since we got
into it to save the expence [sic] of heating the other up.
Clair E. Carrel Johnson and Blain Marshall are out in the
mission field by now and Sheldon K. and William Smith go in the Mission Home on
the 29 of March but they will be out in field by the time you get this. If you
ever get down in the mouth because you are so far away you had better read an
article in the Feb Era written by Brother [illegible words] I had better close
now asking the Lord to let his richest Blessings be with you at all times to
inspire you to greater work are the Blessings we ask for you [illegible]
Note: I didn’t add punctuation to this letter of P.H. Rex’s,
but enjoyed its lack thereof as he wrote his thoughts to his son.
Nice way to start the day!
