Henrietta's father, Henry Lunt, said goodbye to her in 1885 when he moved to Mexico but they corresponded frequently. Henrietta received a letter from Colonia Pacheco, Chihuahua Mexico from her father dated Nov. 5, 1900. I t reads as follows: "My dear Henrietta, Your letter was received with many thanks. illways glad to hear from you. Sorry to hear of Willard's finger being bad. Was very much interested in reading Willard's lettrr that he wrote to you, I am very sorry that I have not time to write him. I think surely he will be coming home soon. I received a very nice lctter from Eva (Jed's wife) and one from Maude and Dan (Henrietta's sister and husband) 'and one from Florence (Henrietta's sister) and would like to write to them all but it is too great a labor and they must excuse me but tell them all to write again as often as they can. I would like to write to Lamoni. (Jed and Eva's oldest son) I received a note from each of Henry's two boys but I can't answer just now, but perhaps will sometime. I wish that some of my old friends that are able would remember their old Bishop now that he needs a friend. O u r Stake Conference will be held on the 18th and 19th of this month. Sarah and I start in the morning, Edward will dri\.e. We have to go to get some things. President Joseph F. Smith will be there. Apostle Woodruff, Pres. Ivans and Pratt are hunting today at Cave Valley. Brother Woodruff killed a deer and a turkey a few days ago as they went to Chinachupa. My cancer is about the same, my sight very poor. Broughton is out hunting today. We have hired Alice Rowley to look after Sarah's family while she's off. Aunt Ellen is much the same as she has k e n . Annie is much better. How's Lehi prospering with his stock and Henry (Leigh) with the sheep? Glad to see that you have had a zood storm. Many happy returns of your birthday. Owen is going to be baptized today, 8 yrs. old. God hless you all. H. Lunt."" l\'hile Willard was on his mission, his finger became infected. I t started with a felon on the end of the forefinger of his right hand. The infection eventually became so serious that it was necessary to amputate the finger to the first joint. Apparently this did not take away the infection. After two more operations, and the complete removal of the finger, the infection was eliminated and it healed properly. Henry Lunt referred to this in the preceeding letter." In 1900, it was so dry that the people could not plant crops. Lehi \V. took Henry out of school on March lst, and sent him and Orson Tyler over the mountain with a hig load of grain, lumber, and seeds to plant down by the lower herd at North Fork. Henry said they "went over the mountain drv shod," meaning that it was dry all the way and there was no snow. They plowed up the soil and later planted a garden and grain. They built a granary there on the plains and completely
