My Dear Friend
Olive Lafluer
I thought I would take
a little time this eve,
and answer your kind
favor I recd. a some
time since but have
been so busy in closing
up school and one
thing and another
I have not had time
to answer I was glad
to hear you had a
school for I was fearful
you [?] be bothered
--next page--
to get a school I hear
a good report of you from
your school and I expect
to hear more that will
be gratifying in the
future if you continue
to work at your trade
I think you will have
no more bother about
school I never applied
for but one school and
that was the first one
I taught. The old saying
is get your name up
and then you can
lay to bed until noon
but teachers must be
careful and not lay
abed before they get their
name up. We are all
quite well at present
Jennie is three years
--next page--
old today she is quite well
now but she has had a bad
cough Mattie is well
and getting as fat as
a little pig Mother has
not been very well this
winter but is quite
comfortable for her
I and all the friends
would be glad to have you
come up and see us
this spring if you cannot
you must come up
when your school closes
Our folks are talking some
about putting up a cheese
factory so we will get
[?] of making butter &
taking care of our own
milk Aunt Olive and
her two children were
out last week and
--next page--
made us a visit she
would have been glad to
of had you come out
and taught their school
this summer and boarded
with her but she was not
master or she would have
had you You tell your
father I have not sent
those papers yet but I
have them all save
I will send them by
mail if he says so but
I can keep them until
May when I pay the
interest money then
I can hand them over
and not run any risk.
When you write let me
know which I [shall] do
Write soon and let us know
how you all do and when
you commence your school
all send love [Good] bye C. W. Johnson

seated for a few mom
ents so I will tell you
as long a story as I
can in a short time

the cheese factory on
Maple Ridge and this
is where I am now I
like my work well
only I am obliged to
keep myself here most
of the time somedays
--next page--

after and see the
folks but have to be
here very early in the
morning I wish you
could come up and
make out your visit
and stay a while with
Aunt Mary Grand Ma
has been very sick this
spring but she is some
better than she was
but she [doesn't] think
she will ever get over
it she was out of
her head for a long
time and now by
spells she is not right
Bothers her to talk and
very often we cannot
make out what she
wants to say Mattie
--next page--
and Jennie are going to
school and little Hattie
is as fat as ever so much
so that she does not walk

with me to make
cheese Tell your Mother

give her a nice piece
of cheese and then I
know your Father and
you all would have
some How do you
all do let me know
This is the first letter
I have written since
I came to the factory
but one and that was
very short I don't know
as you or I can make
this out I have made
--next page--
sich hast Now I want
to know if you are in
need of the $50 dollars
or had you as leave let
me pay you the interest
on it I want to use
the money for I find
that money is [?] and
comes rather slow now
on cheese and I agreed
not to trouble Mr. [?]
for money as he is using
all he can get fitting
up Eleven factories Let
