Carolyn Gay Taft Farm Letter - October 23, 1933

To Miss Taft Will set down and write you a few lines this rainy day. It is nice one day and rain the next.

I guess Ronald and I are on mend but have quite a ways to go yet to be fully recovered. Leslie Gove [?] was here thursday morning and pulled one tree and got rained out so went back home. and with return I expect Friday if the weather premits.

Max has the apples cleaned up and waiting for the trucker. 50 bushel. and cider picked up But have to have premit to take any in. and not any before last of month.

The tree's have not come yet. Max is all ready for them.

Alberta received her apples this week Tuesday. Max has carrots & beets to get out yet. I have been useing some carrots and when you start peeling them thay crack from end to end.

The Michans [?] has moved to town. two week ago. all the umployed men are waiting for road work. Max where hunting a couple times and got 2 rabbits.

You should be here to get your other meal of beets. There look to be quite few. I have peppers the lenght of little fingers. Mother Gilmore was up to Mrs Ida Lardie staying last week. I had them down to dinner and supper. last Friday. Mrs Lardie seemed to enjoy it very much. she sure doesen't look as though she capable of stay alone. she seems so feeble. she is going to Detoit to board for winter months.

Mrs Richard has her hand full. she is looking for a hired girl for about 1.00 to $1.50 a week. I buess there will be plenty at that price. we are buying wood from perry Kroupa. slabwood at $1.50 per cord.

I guess that all the news I can think of. this time

Sincerly Max & Family
