I rather guess this will stop them but if you want to know any thing more write and ask all the questions you want to. Whenever your "money pile" gets low let me know and I will see that you have all you need. Now if you want to please me take time to go to S.S. and Church and at least try the Christian Church.

Your Mother, Warren, Myself and Mr. & Mrs w. went to the Bluffton fair yesterday. Our first frost came last night and did very little damage. Everything is about out of the way. Keep busy but don't worry.

Your Father.
