Old Mission Mich. May 10th 1926

My Dear Miss. Taft:-

Just a little note to start out Mon. right. As I know you are feeling anxious to hear from the farm this time of year.

We have had some very warm weather since I wrote to you but is considerable colder today had a frost last night.

Cherry buds are coming fast now hope they are a little slower. There are ice bergs floating around in the bay. If it isn't too cold will have to start spraying in another weeks time.

Jos. was out in the field before 5 o'clock putting in grass seed & oats before the wind comes up. He is using the seeder instead of drill he thinks the seed will come better and is anxious to have good luck this year. Hope it turns out well. Will have all done before noon today. Then must get corn ground ready. Roger and I done all the chores I the milking & he cleaned the barn & waatered the horses. I am so tired I can hardly write. Milking is hard work for me as I am not used to it.

Had to go to Kroupa's again yesterday with the Kauer cow hope she will be satisfied now.

Joseph went in town yesterday Sun. and saw Mr. Moe about the well. Couldn't get any dirrect answer he said he would come as soon as the weather was all right. Jos. told him that he needed him now. Guess he is a lazy fellow. He wouldn't say when he would come. Jos. can't help him any now as there is far too much work for him to spare any time so he will have to do the work alone.

If I had room and conveniences I would love to keep you here this Summer. Have you found a place yet? Please excuse me for asking but am anxious to know if you have a comfortable place to stay. Must hurry your's with love Essie.
