Dear Mrs. Lovejoy:-
I received your welcome letter a few weeks since, and was pleased to hear that you arrived safely at your destination. It is unfortunate that you are not pleased with the place and climate, after the trouble of going so far. I am much obliged for the information you gave me in regard to the prospects of the country. I intend to go to Marysville for six weeks or so, to teach a class in painting. It has been raining and hailing very hard here to day. We have had very little rain this winter, and we need it badly enough we have had pretty cold weather all along. I have been thinking of the store you speak of it must be 328 Fourth, almost opposite us they keep a variety of dry goods. Mrs. Davis is the name.
I have not seen anything of Mrs. Locke - she had never been to see me and I do not think I will go again till she does I have not heard from Isadore either. You did not have my right address, but the letter reached me it is 325 Fourth St. Remember me to Georgie I am glad he is enjoying himself so much. I suppose Lauriston and Charley will not come to you if you do not intend to stay. I hope they are well Steve wishes to be remembered to you and Mr. Lovejoy.
With much love to yourself, I remain
Yours Truly,
Grace S. Williams

Dear Friend:-
I came down to spend the day with sister, and found her answering your
letter, so I thought I must write a few lines too. We are so glad that you
got through safely, and, that you are feeling well. How pleasant for you to
find a welcome, and nice place to rest after your journey! You looked so
sick the day you left we thought the journey might prove too much for you.
We shall plan to make you the promised visit at the end of this year,
time passes so swiftly, that even two years will soon go by. Mrs. Savet
thinks Moreland needs a poor house since the arrival of the last baby, and
little Mrs. Flowers thinks two will be necessary after a while. I hope you
will not have such a neighbor if I may call Mrs Savet by that name.
We have had just a little snow storm. The mountains are very white,
but there is now snow in the valley. The weather has been very mild and
pleasant since you went away until the last few days. Grandma is staying
with Mrs. Oyler. She was quite sick when she first went down there but is
now well again. Mr. Page is trying to sell out. They will go back to
California if they dispose of their property here.
(?) and write sone soon as you are settled in your new house.
With best wishes for your health and prosperity.
I remain sincerely your friend
Mrs. L. E. Sanborn.

My Dear Friends,
Your letter of the 7th inst was received yesterday and I assure you
I was very much pleased to know you are so well satisfied there, and also
that you are feeling so well. I sincerely hope your health will improve
with the change. You cannot imagine how lonely it seemed that evening after
you left -: As we all stood watching the train out of sight the remark
was made "Just see how soon our friends can be taken from us perhaps
forever".
How true it is, and yet how little we realize all this, the changes
that may take place ere we shall meet again if we ever do. Mrs. Sweatland
very unkindly called us a funeral, procession as we walked to the Depot.
She was mad to think she could not have been one of the number. Mrs. Flowers
has a little girl, born on the 4th both are doing well.
Carrie is with her. Mrs. Sweat called on her immediatley after you
left and wanted little patterns but Nannie would not show her anything
so then after offering her services in time of sickness for which
Nannie made her no reply, she took her departure, telling some one "there
was the strangest people in this place she ever saw".
We are now looking forward to the grand event at her house which
they now say will be in November or December. She and Mrs. Taylor had a
falling out so she is friendless again. Mrs. Taylor and daughter are
working at Mr. Arrcinys, Lou has gone to Chicago to finish her education
and Aline will go East for furniture this fall. Their house is nearly
completed. Dick F lost his situation immediatley after you left and has
been at home since. His Aunt has not called on them since you left and has
not even inquired after the mother and babe when Dick had occasion to call
at their house but they do not care they seem quite happy. School
commenced on the 20th. Mifs Jones from Wisconsin is teaching and I think
is an excellent teacher. She is boarding with me. John is away for a week
on the campaign. Politics are running high just now.
The English Lords are all out on a hunting expedition, and Mr Riley is
improving the time by having a grand drunk. Mrs. Graham and babies are well
Mr Graham has been complaining for a week or now but nothing serious.
Mellie sends love to you and Georgie he was very lonely for a time after
he left. Clarence thinks Nannie's baby is very nice It is real good.
Accept with love and best wishes from your friend
Sadie E. Potter

Dear Friend
I have been a very longtime answering you letter but my eyes have been
troubling me so lately that I cannot write & have to have Mellie do my
writing for me. Today they have been a little worse than for quite a while.
Mellie sent you some cards, did you get them? Mellie says to lett George to
please answer the letter he wrote a long time ago and tell him what he got
for Christmas. : Mrs. Sanborn is going to Idaho soon She starts tomorrow
Ernie will go with her. Are you all at home yet and are you all well.
This leaves us all well & hope it finds you the same Ever your Friend

Mrs Lovejoy
Dear Friend:
Your favor of August just was received in due time but as I was
then quite busy delayed answering until I had more leisure. The boys
and I have just returned from Helena where we have spent a week very
pleasantly, visiting old friends and attending the Fair. Helena is
improving very fast has been having a "boom" for eight or ten months, and
bids fair to be the town between St. Paul and Portland. There are so many
fine residences that would grace any city in the East. We were shown
through the new Court House which is about completed and when furnished
will cost two hundred thousand dollars. It is a fine building and the
view from the top of the surrounding country is truly grand.
Our little town seems to progress backwards. The Hotel was burned in
the night about two weeks ago. I do not know whether it will be rebuilt or
not. The Depot is undergoing repairs and having on a new coat of paint
which will add some thing to its general appearance. Mrs. Flowers has been
quite sick but is about well again. Stella has gone to Helena to attend
school for a year. Nannie is living in your house and since the Hotel
burned has taken the homeless one's to board. She has a very sweet little
girl. Mrs. S is just as mean as ever and is making it rather unpleasant
for Mrs Graham just now. Mr Inghram's family have started for some where
they said California but they probably will not reach there this fall.
Have you seen Mrs. Page and did Mr & Mrs Rogers go all the way through?
Mrs Sanborn is as well as usual I am sure we would enjoy a trip to
California very much and hope we shall be able to visit you some time if
we cannot next year. We each had very pretty flower yards this summer.
Mine far exceeded my expectations, and was a surprise to all who saw it.
Many lovely bouquets have been carried away from it; but it will not last
much longer. It is cloudy and cold today and when it clears we are likely
to have frost. I dread the long winter which seems so near. The summer has
been unusually cool and has seemed very short. I have just had a letter
from my youngest brothers wife saying they thought of coming to spend
Christmas with us and show us their new baby as it is the first of course
it is very nice. They are the on'e that live on a farm, and have just
harvested thirty one thousand bushels of wheat and barley so I think they
can afford a short trip.
Mrs Curtiss is building a nice house on her farm I think Mr C died after
you left. They will probably live very differently after this there has
already been a great change and they are abundantly able to live better.
I do not know whether you are much acquainted with them or not but you
probably know how they lived down there.
Mrs Perks and Ellen went to the Fair quite a change for them. Grandma has
not been as well as usual this summer she is coming to make one a visit
next week if she is able. I suppose you were pleased to get back to your
old home again and among old friends but don't forget your friends in
Montana.
With kind regards to all your family and love for yourself
I remain you friend
Mrs. S. E. Potter,
Please write often.

My Dear Friend,
Your letter reached me two days ago enclosed with one from George to
Mellie. I was glad to hear from you again. The letter or note you spoke of
getting from me was written by Mellie and I supposed he write you that I
could not write. I did not know that he had written it as coming from me.
My eyes have troubled me since December until the first of March about
three months, at times they were very painful I could not read write or
sew, in fact could not do much of any thing. But they are much better now
and I hope I may never have another such time.
I am glad your health is better and hope it may continue to improve. I
have thought of you many times during the winter. I have not been over to
your old house this winter, The boys say the baby over there is very cute
and funny. She is very large about as large as Mrs Graham's baby now.
Nannie is large too there is a great change in her you know she was so
very small. She stays at home all the time same as ever. The late arrival I
have not seen I think Mrs W. D. Flowers is bout the only one outside of
their own family that has seen it.
March 25th
Mrs Sanborn came back to day looking quite well, She has been gone
since the middle of January. She inquired after you and said she would try
and write you soon. I think she has enjoyed her visit very much. She
certainly needed a change. The weather is pleasant here now and it is warm
and dry. I am preparing to have a nice flower garden this summer have moved
around into the back yard. And to the left of the gate as you enter; have
it fenced and all ready for planting. It is much more convenient for me
than on the other side of the buildings. Will tell you later of my success.
I have managed to keep most of my plants through the Winter and they are
now looking very nicely. I still have all those birds. I shall be glad to
hear from you again.
Accept with love from
Your true friend
Mrs S. E. Potter.
