g else was a surprise to me when I came.
I got here in time to attend one of the greatest revivals in the
history of my life--over 500 people joined the church. We had a
Holy Ghost shower. You know I like to have run wild. It was
snowing some nights and if you didn't hurry you could not get
standing room. Please remember me kindly to any who ask of me.
The people are rushing here by the thousands and I know if you
come and rent a big house you can get all the roomers you want.
You write me exactly when you are coming. I am not keeping house
yet I am living with my brother and his wife. My sone is in
California but will be home soon. He spends his winter in
California. I can get a nice place for you to stop until you can
look around and see what you want. I am quite busy. I work in
Swifts packing Co. in the sausage department. My daughter and I
work for the same company--We get $1.50 a day and we pack so many
sausages we dont have much time to play but it is a matter of a
dollar with me and I feel that God made the path and I am walking
therein.
Tell your husband work is plentiful here and he wont have to loaf
if he want to work. I know unless old man A---- changed it was
awful with his sould and G---- also.
Well I am always glad to hear from my friends and if I can do
anything to assist any of them to better their condition, please
remember me to Mr. C---- and his family I will write them all as
soon as I can. Well I guess I have said about enough. I will be
delighted to look into your face once more in life. Pray for me
for I am heaven bound. I have made too many rounds to slip now. I
know you will pray for prayer is the life of any sensible man or
woman. Well goodbye from your sister in Christ
P. S. My brother moved the week after I came. When you fully
decide to come write me and let me know what day you expect to
leave and over what road and if I dont meet you I will have some
one ther to meet you and look after you. I will send you a paper
as soon as one come along they send out extras two and three
times a day.
CHICAGO, ILL.
