To Miss Taft

I am just getting on scene again. I have to be in bed with grippe. I managed to get something to eat and that all. My head ache like everthing to-day.

Are weather is simply beautiful, thinking ever day will be last good day.

Max & Curt have been working over at your house. Thay have found it very hard work. The clay was so hard it all had to be picked.

No one is wireing yet, as they dident know if it would go threw on pensulia. Mr Fouch has been working very hard on it, getting right way & signers for electricity. his last lap is to figure out were the line is going to come, and send it into Lansing. when thay had meeting in July at Court House, no one from pensulia was there to meeting, saying that they wanted electricity out here. So this is and side line business now.

The job over at your house is done with Curt Gilmore with 35 hours of labor at 20 cents per hr.

I have nearly 50 quarts of tomatoes up. But my cans are not a full as thay were last year. I have a couple of bushel baskets of empty can's left. I dident get any berries up at all.

The Delicious apples started dropping so after you left and I don't believe there be two bushel of apples left to eat. I suppose it weather conditions. I guess have to buy some spies & wagners for cooking purpose.

My water is hot to peal tomatoes So means get busy.

Sincerely, Max & Hazel
