St. Louis March 17/67 Dear Father Your interesting letter of 12th of March was received on the 16th and I hasten to answer. I was much pleased on the receipt of your letter as I had written you two letters before and did not receive any answer untill the present time - I was sorry to hear mother was sick and I hope she will be better soon. I want to know something about my children Johnny Charles and Polly - but you did not say anything about them in your letter - When you write again I want you to tell me all about them and tell me if they are living or dead - and tell me about my brothers and sisters and
