My Dear Miss Taft: - Received your dear letter & was glad to know you are well & best of all that you will be here soon. I always feel anxious to hear from you and when you don't write I fear you are ill.
The frost did not injure the seeding but Jos. will have to order 5 bales of hay in order to get through.
He will try to get the new land plowed this week. Most everyone is just planting even now but ours is up. The Ohemes look beautiful just in full bloom now. A few trees in the hollow have a few frozen buds but not enough to ammount to any thing.
Well I am in a dreadful hurry. I have got to be in Traverse City at the hospital by 9 o'clock this morning. Gertrude has got to have another operation. We don't know how she will even stand it because she is so week & run down. The doctors found pus in her abdonmen yesterday & don't know where it comes from. Of course she is in the __ __ too & that only makes it worse for her. You don't know how I dread this day. But must go as poor Freeman can just walk a little now. And he looks just dreadful bad. I hope for the best.
Well good bye dear Miss Taft & I hope you will be here with us all soon. I will feel better after I have a good visit with you. I have $15.75 here from corn.
Yours Essie Kitchens
