Dear Miss Taft

I am sorry to be so late in in answering your last letter

My bro past away in ann arbor and so much to do ever since. In getting the place shored up. and last of trouble.

We have had lots of rain + wind it blew down a big tree again. We had a light fall of snow last week but is nearly all gone know.

Max traded a ton and half 1 1/2 of hay for a ton + half 1 1/2 straw to Fay Dohm and he hauled it eight miles out on route four

Max has the garden plowed + corn fields by the wood's and stumps nearly burnt but it has been so wet thay dident burn good.

I want to tell you about the plow handles Max had to return the other ones thay weren't the right fit, so he took them back and the next one where $1.50 and thay were just in the ruff and he make them himself Max has been fixing the horse stable So thay wouldn't throw out there hay. Max fixed up the yard to turn out the horses and cow. in nice weather

The horse sure feel good.

The swamp is a regular lake know.

The leaves have all diappeared off Cherry trees at last. Thay stayed on so long.

OUr brother-inlaw is home but no deer. Thay say thay are very scarce.thing this year.

Max but on the double windows + painted storm door and but them on. He had a hard time to get them to fit.

I guess that all the news for this time

Sincerly Max + Family
