Nutrioso,
Gemima Adair Rugg
This was written while he lived in
Arizona.
Dear Daughter:
I received your kind and welcome letter a few days
ago, and can say I was glad to hear from yqu again.
I am well and hope you are the same. I would like to
see you and Fred and the children, but I don't know
when I will again. But I will sometime, if not in
this life, I will in the next.
I often think of you.
George and Newton both live in this place, and I live
with one a while and then the other, and would be
glad if I was there where I could stay with you part
of the time. Tell me in your next letter how many
children you have and what their names are.
You always have my prayers, and don't forget Mormonism is right, for I know it to be true. Write
often and tell Fred to write.
I remain as ever your
affectionate father.
