My Dear Miss Taft:-
Today is Sunday & I have just finished helping Joseph sort apples. There were 50 bu. in all and 19 1/2 bu. of no 1 & no 2 apples so you see they were not very good. So many were cracked and under size. Mr. P. does not handle apples in baskets or barrels the only way he will take them is to haul them to town in bulk for I was in to see him twice. And he said apples were so cheap he could not afford to handle in baskets. So we have did the best we could under circumstances. He will take them up tomorrow morning & get 1/4 ton hog feed
He wants to dispose of those hogs this week for they are as fat as they will get he will try & make arrangements tomorrow while in town. I should judge they will weigh 100 apiece maybe more I don't know until they are weighed. The last litter are growing very nice.
No those little pigs have not been attended to yet. every one seems to be so busy that they haven't time to help Joseph do it. We would like to get Ledger for Joseph can return in work then. We will have it did at earliest date possible.
Did Mrs. S. mention how many butternuts she wanted I would like to know. And next thing is to find something to put them in. I have her beans ready now but would like to send them all at [()] one time.
I found the material you wanted & it was right where you said it was. Will send with the apples.
No news of a new team yet.
Joseph has 200 bu of corn in the crib & will have to haul the rest over to S. when husked. There wil be 100 yet or more. WE would rather have it here for no one over there some one might break into the crib. Well I am tired and will draw my letter to an end. Will you please excuse my pencil but Roger ruined my pen so will have to get another. You understand something about children I think.
Miss Taft I need a winter hat too but am not gifted as you are to be so handy I try but usually fail. Guess I will wear my same old one.
With love Essie K.
P.S. Hope I have mentioned every thing of importance if not please mention again
