Dear Sister
I will try to answer your kind
letter.  I am very sorry I did
not answer it sooner.  I hardly
know how to tell you sister
but have to tell you Will is
gone to his last, but blessed
home, he died a bout an hour
before I got your letter - on the 25
of April.  He was unconcious most
of the time the last week he
lived.  on tuesday a week before he died
he told us he was prepared
that he was only waiting and
watching.  it is hard to have to
give him up but when we have
the Blessed assurance that he is

with his Father in heaven we have
a bright hope to look forward to.
We can go to him but he can
not come to us.
Johnnie came 2 weeks before Will
left us.  He is going home soon and
coming back this summer.
My ? Uncle will stay with us
until summer.  he wants us to
sell out and go to the Cheyenne
Nation, but Johnnie says he will
stay with us here, and I think I
would better stay here. the doctor that
waited on Will said he had a tumor
in his left side  he thought it
was caused from a horse falling
with him 2 years ago and hurting
his back lifting too much.  little
George is well only some sores 
on his face.  tell Grace she
wrote a nice little letter.
When George gets old enough he

will send her a letter.
I want to write Leonard a letter
this morning and send with this
one to the office so will have to
close for this but will write a
longer letter next time.
Write soon as you can  I like 
to hear from you all.
       from your sister
         Mollie Milton
   and John Milton
