Dear Harold and Laura,
Well I guess you are pretty well settled by now I hope
that Laura is rested up after her long trip I was so sorry to hear of that long
wait at the depot in Denver, it was a shame you didn't phone before you left
Aunt Nell’s you might as well have spent a couple more hours there. I received a letter from Nell, she sure
enjoyed your short stay.
As time goes on we miss you more and more but always try
and think of it as being a grand adventure for you. I hope little Alvin is enjoying the nice sun
shine. We are having our occasional
spring days but it is still freezing at nights.
We will sure be glad when the weather is settled. Uncle Hy, Aunt Mae and Effe, Dad and I are
going up to Idaho Saturday morning and stay untill Monday. Uncle Hy is doing the driving but we have to
take our car. I think Dad is feeling
better than when Laura left. I feel
quite sure he will be much better when summer comes. Neffs, across the way have sold out and moved
away. I heard he has work in Colorado
Spring, he left about the same time as you and she has just left. She was left to do as Laura had to. I don’t know wheather his work is for the
goverment or not. Yes, the time is
rolling on pretty fast and it wont be long before June is here. I can hardly bare to think of Jean getting
married the closer the time draws near the more I hate it but we will have to
have faith in this matter to and pray that things will turn out for the best. We heard today that Dewane Oldham got married. He married a girl from Oregon. She met her at Mutual last night, I wonder
how Oldhams feels about that. [Mother]

P.S. Dear Harold Laura and
Alvin. I just have to drop you all a
line or two on this paper before Mother mails it. I do hope you all well and happy because that
is what it takes to make it. I bet Laura
was all in when she got there and I bet she has had all the train ride she
wants for the rest of her life.
I know I would if it were me. I rode 800 miles once and I thought we would
never get there. I never was much of a
writer myself, but I pray our Heavenly Father to bless you all and keep you all
well and happy which I know he will. Keep on smiling and God bless you
Your
old Dad and Loving Mother. [Dad Carlson]

times for Grandma and Grandpa
