Dear Annie May,---.As
usual f have overlooked your birthday
till it was right up on me. But if it is any joy
to get birthday letters this one will extend your
birthday ,Jos over a longer period of time. Hope
you are well and happy and prosperous and good
looking and
all the other things people wish
people on their birthdays. But in addition to
what other people wish other people on such ocoasions,I-wish
you a handsome husband and a long
life. (dont get teased for you have the privelege
of retaliating ty wishing me a winsome wife ).

Well, I have been almost sick-a-bed sinoe I
wrote last, in faot one or two days
last Friday
and Saturday, I did stay in bed part of the day.
JIt had every ear mark of the flu,starting in with
a very severe sore throatand in spite of all the
medoine and preoautions I ould take for my good
it gradually overpowered me and for three whole
days tl didn't eat a thing. Sunday morning I was
so siek from the medicine I had been taking thaf
I thought I wouldn't be able to preaoh. {1 had prepared
only a skeleton of a sermon and I felt like
a skeleton myself. .Uut I oame on to the church
as usual, early, and lay down of the oouoh wheih
the ladies plaoed in 5m study,and looked over my
notes. By S.S. time I had gained a good deal of
strengtt,and when preaching time oame the ohuroh
was packed with people and I reouprated more.
Kept getting better and Monday I felt about as well
as usual except a little weak. Today I feel like
I had never been sick at all.
Preaahed twioe Sundab here in town, but didn't
go out in the country for fear of overworking and
catching fresif oold. Sent one of the elders out
to preac-t in mE place and they saX he did fine, in
fact he (the elder) eabs they are thinkiing of
turning me off now since they heard him.
