My Dear Miss. Taft: -
Central was here today & worked about 2 hrs. on this phone & can't do much with it. He dug up the ground wire & is going to get a long iron rod & put that into the ground & see if it won't make a difference. He wanted to know if that doesn't work if he can exchange with Mrs. S. until Spring & then put this one back as in the winter if we should need a doctor or something & this is out of order we would be in a tight boat. I am always afraid of fire & what would a person do without a phone. Hope we never have any experiece with such things because I always try to be careful.
It has snowed most of the time since Sun. night. Have had one of the worst wind storms since I wrote the other day that I can remember of. It turned out a lot of fruit trees for the neighbors besides shook most of their apples onto the ground. It was a dreadful loss for men with large apple orchards. Am glad yours was all off. Never saw such a cold stormy October almost like was winter.
Well I must go to bed as it is late.
With love Essie
P.S. I addressed a card to Mrs. Stutsman & had to send a letter instead so will send it to you & maybe you can use it. There is no use in my keeping it around
