My Dear Miss. Taft: - We received your letter before this could get to the mail box. And thanks a doz. times for your kindness of sending the check early. Now I can get to T.C. during vacation time. You are so thoughtful & kind sometimes I feel as though I do so little for you in return.

My the weather is dreadful cold & snowing every day. People said we were going to have a green Xmas but I think it will be a good white one. Please be careful Miss Taft & don't fall on those slippery streets. I have to be very careful when in town or I would go sprawling quite often.

Joseph had 24 bu of corn & 12 of oats ground for stock. So much of the grain passes through whole when not ground & it surely does the animals no good that way. The grinding of feed came to $2.00. Mr. Burton did the work.

We got a small box of Harvel condition powder for cows & horses. Baby cow is thin & does not eat her feed or grain as she should & several people have told us this is what they give their cows. She has began to eat better already & hope she will improve. Stock is the same as people are they loose their appitite when standing around. Condition pow was .30.

I certainly thank you for my gift for the whole family enjoys it. I read two stories in the last one today. But I think it rather expensive for a gift. I do love to read & now when both children goes to school it is quiet & I enjoy it much more than ever.

Hazel is well again & I am thankful for that. Her face was not swollen very much so she may have had a cold instead of mumps. But hope it was that.

I feel so sorry for Mrs. Stutsman if I could run in & help her as she used to me. Is it her same old trouble? She used to be so well when on the farm it is a pity she can't stay here for I know she enjoyed her quiet home life here much more than in the city. But it isn't the things we like best that we get the most of. I know that is my case.

I wish you had your new car to enjoy this winter. It would save you a great many cold rides & be much more comfortable.

Mr. and Mrs. Eiman gave us a very nice set of silver salt & pepper shakers. I am very much pleased with them. It is something I can keep a long time.

$2.00 grinding of grist
.30 Harvel's cond. powder
.15 for 10 lbs. salt $12.00 on hand
$2.45 2.45 expenses
$ 9.55 to your credit
