Yesterday we had one of our young chickens for dinner and nelly had your part of the chicken but nelly sid she wished you was here to have the haid because it was so fat. We go every morning to the river to water Ball. We have a hen with ten little chickens about two weeks old and they gro so fast. My pullet lays all the time. Those little chickens that we brot with us from camp the roosters crow and the pullet go around a singing just like the old hens. Papa writ to me when you have time, ada is better then she was when mama wrote. I am going to take a ride now so.

===============
Mar 26, 1882: Death of Winifred M. Davis Chamberlin (age 12), child of Emily S. Hoy and Frank Davis, in Fremont, Dodge County, Nebraska. Family lore has the young girl died while skipping rope. In the descriptions of her in several family letters, she did not sound to be a healthy child. Winnie is buried in the Ridge Cemetery in one of twelve family plots owned by J.S. Hoy.
