GREAT FALLS, Montana,

March /, 1900.
My dear friend Mrs. Woollet:-
[ have so often thought of writing
to you, and have just as often put
it off. We are away out here,
three thousand miles from my
native state and so many of my
loved ones.
Lucy and left Huntingdon the
10th of last June, spent some
time in Harrisburg with Lille,
and left Pennsylvania the 10Th of
July. We went to Mount Yer
non, Missouri, and had nice Wis
il of six weeks with Phebe and
Mac. We left them the 30th of
August and arrived in GreatE'alls,
Montana, the 2nd day of Septem-
ber, and Lucy went into the
school room the 9Th, she having
only two days to rest from our
long journey. She is real well
and likes her school work very
much.
The climate here is fine, only
the high winds are Objectionable.
AT present we are having lovely
weather. The winter has not
been severe. We have had some
very cold weather, but it did not
last long at any time, We have
had several blizzards, the like of
which | don't care to see any
more.
Last week, one evening, just as
Parker was going out the door to
go to prayermeeting, he said,
'Listen at it raining" We all
ran to the door to hear it, for it
was something 50 newt was
the first rain we had since Sep
tember. We all stood on the
porch to enjoy it and said, "Don t
it seem like Pennsylvania. June
is the rainy month here, after
which 1T does not rain for nearly
year. The altitude being so
high, and our having no damp,
rainy weather, are reasons why
it is so healthful here.
We are all enjoying good health,
for which we are very thankful.
| often think of my friends in
McConnellsburg and wonder how
they are progressing in the Chris
tian life. Do you have a w. c. II.
U? There's great field for
work in that line here; this is a
Goddess place, and there is much
to be done for the uplifting of hui
manity. | could make good use
OF the temperance literature l
left with you if | had it here.
Remember me kindly to the
friends. | will be very glad to
hear from you at any time.
Your friend,
ADDIE E. HEIKES.
