common. I advise you to come together, and I believe you will
spend a happy old age here.
it may be that you are afraid we will expect some
recompense from you, but that has never entered our
minds. Don’t let that worry you. If in the providence
of God sickness should come upon you, we will perform
our duty as your children and care for you. It is
doubtful if Sven and Christine will stay at Bredagård until your
days are ended. If you think it desirable, you might rent
your farm and order the money sent to America in case
you need it. But you know what is best, and it is hardly
necessary to lay plans a hundred years ahead. I am sure
that you will get along better here; you will not have to
grind and cook and bake. Weigh the matter carefully.
I am sorry for mother if she is persuaded to go against
her will. If Johanna is in the party, she can be of
assistance in case of need. I hope what I have written will
be taken in the right spirit. I do not want to take the
responsibility of causing you to undertake something for
which you will be sorry.
Our son thanks his grandfather for the present.......
and I thank you for the yarn. Our little daughter is the
best baby I have ever seen. She is growing fast, and,
although only five months old, sits alone. I have a great
deal of work, but my health remains good. We get ten
gallons of milk from four cows. We sold a cow two weeks
ago. I got over thirty pounds of wool this year.
I close with greetings to all. Write soon, and we will
reply immediately.
Mary Helena Stephenson.
