Description
Carolyn Gay Taft (1873-1952), was the owner of a small cherry farm on Old Mission Peninsula in the early 1900’s. While she spent her summers on the Peninsula, her primary job as a teacher at the Illinois State School for the Deaf required hired hands to run the farm in her absence. These farmers, and their families, lived on the farm and sent frequent written reports to Ms. Taft. Most letters are written by the farmer’s wives, and provide a record of both agricultural and social history.

Traverse City Mich. Feb. 19th 1934,
Dear Miss Taft,
I was talking to Max today and he said he had bought a new team and I want to buy Queen to go with my old horse for we can not put him to work to hard and I think she would do for this summer, but I have no mony to buy with now and I wondered if I could pay for her halling cherries this Summer.
Please let me know Soon as you can.
Yours Truly
