I am sorry But Max lost your letter of last week some way in getting’s mailed. So was not able to write an other till know.

Ronald has been very sick there was no Xmas for him and we had not had any sleep to speak of for three Nite. I had him to Dr twice the week of Xmas and is takeing 2 kind of medicine a day. And on a strick diet. He go so weak it was a big job for him to walk. The Dr says he is just very much run down. And could not resist catching cold every time he went out which weakened him very much. He feeling some what better. But I have to watch him very careful and it a job getting him to eat what good for him which one thing is livere (?)

His teeth has to be brushed three time a day on account of medicine he’s taking iron I imagine is in it that dicolore the teeth.

Yes the door has been on for a month and storm window to. Yes we had a very cold snap after Xmas But only lasted 2 days We have quite a little snow. But no bad.

In the other letter Max took the cow to Mr. Lou Zoulek and he had killed his animal. So Max says refund the money. So Mr. Lou Zoulek say he must have half .75 for his trouble. He say you can bring and other cow there for service as his animal will be ready in spring for service. So Max say I’ll tell Miss Taft. So on he travels clear to Archie Helfrich..
