To Miss Taft

At last we have a break in are cold weather with a rain all day Friday and all nite and next day to.  Are both big pond's have started.  I was wishing we would get by with out our lake's But I guess hardly to be expected with as much snow as we have got.  The cellar was full of water and barn basement to.  Ever things was so full of frost and such a sudden change in weather.  Max could not even throw down hay had bring it down by fork full.

Tom Richard took queen at $30.00 no money.  Max tried to get $60.00 out of Nell.  but coudn't zoulek diden't want her.  and Bill Marshall wouldn't pay that much for so old a horse.  So took her at $55.00 cash with recipt in envelope.

 5 gas $0.95 1 qt oil at .25 per qt. to Elk Rapids
 5 "   $0.95 1 qt oil "   "   "   "  to Mayfield
 5 "   $0.95 1 qt oil "   "   "   "  to Traverse City 2 trip
 5 "   $0.95 1 qt oil "   "   "   "  to Elk Rapids
 5 "   $0.95 1 qt oil "   "   "   "  to Sutton Bay.

The last two trip's to traverse when went to look at team and had to take Max up to drive them home.  I had to take $1.20 out of the farm use $5.00

There all waiting for some cherry money which was said thay might get in March.

Max say there one horse that he don't know if he going to keep in the new team.  

Max say her wind is a little off. sometime can see it and again you can not notice it.  He said there wind was perfect.  Max is after him so is he looking for a mate for Ness.  But are an ideal team other way's  Max has tried them on different pulls.   

Max is cutting up the fallen tree's 3 of them  1/2 barrel of lime a sulphur.  No arnate of lead  yes I told Max I had earned a new dress writing horse news.  If I can only make him belive it  ha ha.

I guess that all the new's 

Sincerely

Max & Family
