Just in case the explanation on the last half of the page is unreadable, I have transcribed it below:
The first five of these children died in infancy of whooping cough and scarlet fever. The two boys in Scotland, the three girls of Cholera in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. Father had these children adopted (sealed) to them in the St. George Temple. Also, those of the family that were not born under the covenant. So, that work is complete. (signed) Wilhelmina H. Morrison Ericksen (continued on page 6)
