"...Daisy & Peggy (your red heifer) will freshen before very long & all but Lily haven't been milking so long - "Tiny Boy" is fine.

Well your old place looked pretty food - only no Marg't & Barbra at the door - In a way I was just as well pleased - a tree had fallen in the back & the top brushed the screen on the porch - don't know how you'd get to the toilet.  It looked all grown up round there where you folks burned - Lots of clover in the right side of the lawn - not mowed  V'Ona has their mower - so they didn't get another - It is just as well - The roses I planted are all growing & budded - The salmon & white to the left are growing but kind of spindly on acct of shade I spose - The 3 over by the [can't read word] & lilacs are doing well - Your mother had spaded round them - The pretty pink in front by the tree had a pretty rose out  - The garden looked good but small - Ours is fine - just bouncing.

Say Billy renewed sub for Liberty the other day - so don't you - Cressey asked about it so he renewed - Just forget birthdays this year -

Well Billy is ready & I must quit - Ella1 referred to Corey2 girls - & the proprietor of the store where Beth3 works - I think I said to her - She might have her capt set for some businessman...."
