            <text>&lt;p&gt;Dear Sister,&lt;br /&gt; I have intended writing you&lt;br /&gt; for some time in regard to the &lt;br /&gt; old home. But have had a&lt;br /&gt; slight cold and felt rather&lt;br /&gt; (?)less. Then as you know I&lt;br /&gt; have so much writing to do that&lt;br /&gt; some of it is pushed back for lack&lt;br /&gt; of time. I do not re-member just&lt;br /&gt; what I wrote you &amp;ndash; But the Burlington&lt;br /&gt; (C-B-rd-) crossed with Nebr at Platto&lt;br /&gt; (?) in July 1869. And then then pushed&lt;br /&gt; on to Ashland and Lincoln. We were&lt;br /&gt; living in the house. Then I can re&lt;br /&gt; member that a number of the men&lt;br /&gt; used to come to our house for food&lt;br /&gt; we cooked and ate in the basement&lt;br /&gt; ---------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;and slept I think on first floor you&lt;br /&gt; may re-member that the rooms were&lt;br /&gt; furnished by peace-meal and the room&lt;br /&gt; intended for our parlor not finished&lt;br /&gt; until J-M took the place over. The &lt;br /&gt; Congregational church was organized in&lt;br /&gt; Ashland in may 1871 So that&lt;br /&gt; I presume Rev (?) Knowles only preached&lt;br /&gt; from the time we moved in until then&lt;br /&gt; Rev Ara Farnell (?) you will remember was&lt;br /&gt; the first pastor at Ashland for the&amp;nbsp; Con-&lt;br /&gt; gregational church. The (?) (?) that&lt;br /&gt; did not pass our place. But the freight-&lt;br /&gt; ers going from Nebr City and Plattsmouth&lt;br /&gt; to Denver and other points west. I will&lt;br /&gt; keep on making inquiry in regards&lt;br /&gt; copy of mothers picture. If you want to &lt;br /&gt; write G.G. I think a letter to Siux Falls&lt;br /&gt; would be forwarded. Keep well-&lt;br /&gt; Dearest love&lt;br /&gt; Theodore and Anna&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>&lt;p&gt;This is a letter to Charlotte Littlefield from her sister Anna and her husband Theodore. Anna probably wrote this letter in the late 1930s or early 1940s, since this is the time the interest in family history&amp;nbsp;rekindles.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Charlotte (Lotta) Littlefield (nee Roberts) was Joseph Littlefield's second wife, whom he married in 1887 after his first wife Hellen died in 1881. Robertses came to Nebraska from Illinois in 1864 to homestead in Cass County.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The letter comes from the collection of Terri and Dave Mabon. Dave Mabon is Charlotte Littlefield's great-grandson.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
