My Dear Miss. Taft:-

Was so glad to get your letter but very sorry to hear of Miss [Zycham's?] death.

Altho Mr. Hunter sounds high priced I am sure his work will be satisfactory. And
that means a whole lot in the end.

I received your card & Mrs. Chase is going to take 100 bundles of corn stalks
at .05 a bundle so it will be better than leaving them over. There is a nice lot
of manure this Spring to use where you wish to have it put.

No Joseph did not do any fall plowing as there was none to do then.

Mr. Haywood is very sick at present. They had the Doctor yesterday & he is in a
bad condition. The Doctor looked {Oral?] over & gave him a good talking to he told him that if [ever?] he did any more nasty pranks they would have the asylum Doctor come & get him. So I guess he will act different. I would not do anything now if I was you but wait until I write again I have talked to Rosie & she said things that leads me to think they are going to Muskegon to live. I am very much afraid Ikey may not live long as his health is so poor. That may be one reason for leaving too. I will have Hazel come home with Roger nights & things may blow
over all right before another term commences again. If they leave here some one
else will take care of those poor little folks I would not be blamed then. As
Rosie is Joseph's sister & he would feel dreadful if he knew I wrote you any
thing but I felt so bad I could not help it. They are pitiful to look at. The
father down & a small little mother trying to keep things going. You know Freeman
& Gertrude are not coming back this Summer. He intends to stay there & work.

I mailed you a letter yesterday that I wrote several days ago & found that I
had failed to mail it. There are so many things comes up now Ikey down makes more
for me to think of.

Please don't write now to any one about [Oral?] until I find out what I told you
about. You are so kind & considerate about every-thing & I should not burden you
with my troubles.

Roger & Hazel can hardly wait until Miss Taft comes home as they call it.

I plan on a good garden this summer & I surely will give you some good big bites
if my plans turn out good.

Well I can't think of more to say only it thawed today & took heaps of snow off.

Hope you are well & happy

with love your's
Essie

P.S. we did not feel the quake here but saw a lot about it in the G.P.
