Old Mission, Mich. May 22nd 1929

My Dear Miss Taft:-

I have had the Ladies Aid here today and am very tired but will write you a few lines and tell you what little I can.

We have had three frosts in the past few nights the sweet cherries are harmed some but we think not very much the monts are in the pink Jos. sprayed them today. I pray we don't have a frost any more. The grass seed is up but oats are coming slow as it is so very cold out the 16th we had a snow storm and the coldest winds it burned the leaves that were coming out on the sweet cherries and some of the petals.

Jos. wants to buy Queen some worm medicine as soon as he sees Dr. Scott as she is full of them. She eats a lot but doesn't get fat and she passes worms of late so know she must have lots of them they are long white ones. I love Queen more and more I think she is so inteligent for a horse.

The carrots and corn are planted and all farm work doing nicely.

I'll try and report once a week regular and oftener if any thing comes up as I know how you feel.

Your's as ever, Essie

The bees have been here for several days but can't work much on account of its being so cold and wet it is raining this morning.
