My Dear Miss. Taft:-

Mr. Breeden was down a few minutes this morning so we had a little chat. He told us about seeing you at Mrs. Stutsman's. And also about his farm. In some ways he is glad that he sold & in others he isn't. They like to spend the Summers here as it is usually so cool & restful for the ones who doesn't work. They have to vacate the house in another week or two so think they will board at Mary Blacks & the Harbor. The 53 acres accross from us hasn't been sold yet. Pratt kept the tract with timber & best shore line for to sell separately. That includes log cabin They go over to the cabin quite often. They may fix it up & try to rent it to some one is what we heard of course it may be gossip one never can depend much on what they hear now days.

The cherries are growing fast but don't appear to be very thick on the trees. The small sweet cherries have begun to color a little but won't be ready for market for a week or longer yet. I think they will be nice & large.

Yesterday was dreadfully hot but today is cooler if weather turns hot it will hurry things up a little

Corn is growing better now. Jos. hoed it all out & he will have to start over again the quack grass is fierce down on the meadow & also on alfalfa field.

He had to cut a small strip of hay to feed horses can't turn them in the pasture as there is barely enough for the cows to eat. It is going fast now with these drying winds & hot sun. Had a light shower Fri night but need much more very soon or right now.

We are coming fine on the farm so just relax & rest don't even think about us here. For the busy time will soon be at hand & lots & lots of work to do.

Thanks for letter & check must hurry as Hazel is patiently waiting like a good little girl to mail this letter. Hazel thinks Rebecca owes her a letter & should answer it pretty soon. She sends her love to you all.

As ever
