Raymond S.D.
April 20th 1920
My Dear Miss Taft:-
I was very
glad to hear from you. I
have had several letters
from Joseph since I wrote to you.
He did not tell me how
much he got out of the hogs
& I did not care to ask over
twice.
Your cherry orchard was all
O.k. last week. But it is so
cold most of the time. That
I am not enjoying my visit
as much as I might. For
we can not take the baby &
go car riding. She has not
been very well since I brought
her out here.
I do not like it out here for
there is thick black mud
every where. And the water
is awful it is not fit to
drink. I will be glad to get
back & get a good drink of
water once more.
Last night I happened to
step off from the cement
walk & slipped down in the
mud & rolled over such a
sight I was. That finished
me. Mamma makes fun of
Mich. sand but I like it
far better than mud.
I would like to go to the
Black Hills before I come
back but I guess I will
have to give it up.
Miss Taft when you
mention clothes it makes me
think of my old clothes. I
could not afford to buy new
ones. Mamma & papa furnished
me with funds to bring me
out here. They thought I would
like it here & stay. So I don't
like to have them buy any
clothes for us. Although they
have [gotten] bought some things
for the children to wear.
They have a beautiful
home here & every thing
to get along with. I would
like to paper one of the rooms
at home this spring but I
can't afford it & won't ask
you to.
Even though it is a tenant
house I like to be clean &
comfortable. For it is my
home as long as I live
in it. Now Try and write to
me again before I leave
for home. That will be the
3rd day of May. I will be
so glad to see you back
again. And I certainly
hope we have a good
summer & lots of cherries.
Mamma & Mary send you
their love. And you have
a lot of mine too.
Your Friend
Essie E Kitchen
P.S. Keep well
