Old Mission Mich Feb 21st, 1921

Dear Miss Taft,

I was glad to hear that you recieved the letter I sent to you. I felt so miserable I could not walk to the post office with it so I left it at Waits drug store & Mr. Gray posted it for me. I will not mention what the trouble was in the letter for I don't tell my nearest neighbors some times when I have my poor days. When you are here I tell you & Mrs. S. & that is enough. I always look the same so no one ever knows.

Do you wish to sell those 2 hogs left for market price or what will we do. If prices are up out side they are about the same here. I inquired when in T.C. and they were paying .06 cents & .07 cents on foot then & have not payed any more since holidays. Of course the price may look better later on. It is a puzzle what to do. A Mr. Christopher was here today & looked at that older pig & said he would pay 10.00 for it & I told Joseph to ask you first. If it was ours we would know what to do.

We are having a few cold days now but hard to tell how long it will last.

I owe Mrs. Stutsman a letter but can't seem to find time to write. I have considerable Spring sewing to do for my little one's yet just plain clothes. That is about all I find time to make. I am going to make Hazel some crepe Romepers for Summer to se if ironing can be cut down a little.

Dear how I would love to sit down with you for a few hours visit. It is bed time & both babies are sound asleep so I think I will soon follow them.

Your's Essie K
