To Miss Taft
We received your letter on Tuesday. After haveing winter are weather just know is beautiful. Nite & day such beautiful moon light nights. I expect its to good to last long.
Your trees came the 25 of October. Max is working at them.
The man that tryied to buy queen was back with an other man to buy both horses. The man seemed quite anxious to buy them. Max said no thay weren't for sale know. I am starting to give Ronald cod liver oil It is very expence's. I course I am not thinking of the price if it will only do some good.
The meet at packing Co. consisted of Mr. Roger said they had sold enough of cherry to pay there debts. and could barrow enough to pay growers an other 1/2 cent bush didn't figure it was good business to barrow. The market was good and steady. and by spring could pay the farmers 3 cents and still make a profit. But would promise them that. and that thay didn't want to come up there next spring and say he did Thay are wondering wether to pay the farmer 2 3/4 cents. and pay government and be thro with them or pay farmer 3 cents and still be in debt.
The Truckes dident come back. Max waited a week. So Max had Tom take them to town to L. F. Perkett. We haven't the money yet. He waits till he get's a carload. and the saturday you can have your check. by coming I think your will be ready. He pay .60$ hundred and .50$ hundred. and takes almost anything.
The paper has come off of the outside stair way. on the house.
No Max has not heard of any one haveing manure for sale yet.
The trees are all pulled at 1 1/2 day at $20.00 and big tree by the fence. He broke chain in about twelve piecies. Thay had to work quite a while to get it out. it had roots bigger then a stove pipe. It sure is slick way of pulling them
Mr Henry Ficthen is buying a farm near Tompsonville. 80 acre's
I guess that all the new's
Sincerely Max & Hazel & Ronald.
