Old Mission, Mich Sept. 27th 1928

My Dear Miss. Taft:

Received the wall paper yesterday and it very pretty am well pleased with it. Mrs. Dohm can put it on later on she charges [$] .30 per hour and it will take her more than 2 days. Of course I will help her all I can. But know I couldn't undertake it all alone with these tall ceilings.

Joseph is picking Wealthy apples will finish them tomorrow they are buying at the Harbor so he is hauling them there.Ciders [$] .35 peeler [$] .70 per 100 weight

The threshing is done. Mr. La Batt did all of the work around the neighborhood so Jos. had him do yours too there was 79 bu of oats and they are beautiful & clean Mr. L. said the nicest they had found so far. And they were so dry that they thresed out clean. Jos. returned the work to neighbors so only hired two men. And there was 5 here for dinner. I felt like giving them a boot as I don't like to cook for hungry people any more got my fill this Summer. Am so glad every thing come along as good as it did.

Mr. Lardie told Jos. he would get that barrel when he got the Wunsch barrels but forgot it. So Jos. will bring it to Old Mission before very long.

It has rained and snowed since Sunday & so cold out. Roger is nearly sick a bed with a hard cold.

There isn't any news so will try & write leter on.

With love Essie.
