I am lonesome and home sick. I don't like this place. I wish I

was down home today. I sigh for my native woods and the

little girl I left behind me. also for Mother and Brothers. I

believe the farm is the best place after all when one is

working out they hardly have a moment to call their own. I

wish I could be satisfied.

Kate and Frank came Thursday and today we got a two

seated rig and all went out to Lake Lizzie 25 miles East of

Barnesville. We had a nice time got back at 8 P.M.

They went away. I felt like going too but that would never do. I

must tough it out for a while anyway. and get a little money

ahead.

I am all alone today. Mary and William went down to St.

Cloud last night to attend Archie Gutheries funeral. He was

killed at Bridgeman while switching there in the yard the

evening of Oct. 3. Poor Archie I have worked a good many

days under him and always found him a nice man. I was out

over the prairie this afternoon shooting some. It made me

wish I was down home but one can not always live at home. I

feel lonesome and home sick. Have not had a letter for the

little girl for two weeks. Guess she has gone back on me.
