January 12, 1935

To Miss Taft

Are snow was nearly gone and nearly as warm as spring.

But last nite we had some snow fall and the air is quite a lot colder. Ronald was so pleased with his book and getting a package in mail. He jump up and down a say Miss Taft is nice to me and Miss Taft don’t forget me does she and the story just please him. He has to have book read thru ever nite before he goes to bed. My job. He is feeling quite good again if I can keep that way. So he can gain.

The brushed wool gloves you gave last year came in play this week a Ronald was needing some ankles for snow suit.

I will have to write you about check you sent us for July 1, 1933. As bad as we need and could use it for things we need so much. That we had cashed the at Henry Lardie and lost the money which $18.00 something as I remember I had board money for a week. So though I better write before it was cashed.

Max is cutting some. The weather has been in his favor.

Ronald say to tell you he hope you are well.

The horses are feeling fine. The cow and calf are enjoying yard the fine day. Max was at a cherry meeting at the town hall. They are trying hard to get a set price of 3 per pound. I don’t know far they will get. Mr. Heaten (?) gave a talk that he went into a store on his trip home to see his mother and ask for some apple. There were 4 apples for 25 cents. Were they from ask Mr. Heatere(?) from the west. Give me a .25 worth of Michigan apple The store man say we have none.

I guess that all news. Sincerely, Max Family
