Dear Owen,
I didn't think I wold write another lettr but I have to tell you why your with Mr and Mrs Smith. I learnd that William and Permelia left without you nor talking with me. Gone to Exira, Iowa. Well after gampa Owen died I had money from seling the place. .
Well I bout tickets on the train to Atlantic. Riding that train the best time I see you have. I hired a buggy take us to Exira It wernt a long ride but William have no farm. He live on Edgerton st in Exira. His 5 children and Permelia all in this house. She says she have no more room for children. Youd be lucky to have a bed there. William working as a carpenter she says. New buildings in Exira and Oakfield and at the Hollocks place and the Dodges place maybe more.
Well I got to find someone so I ask the clerk at the store. He said maybe ask Mrs. Smith. Shes a teacher and have no children of her own. He says sometime back they have Rosette Heath stay with them. Not sure why maybe to finish school. At the livery I hired a buggy so we don't have to walk. Your gama cant walk that far. I writ a lettr to Mrs and the Rev in Masechusets so they know where you are. I put this letter with your other lettrs from me. If this the last lettr you have then you know it work out the way God wanted.
Love,
Gama Harriet
