My Dear Miss Taft:-

We saw Mr. Eiman about blasting the Dutchess orchard & he said it would take around $40 in all but Jos. says it might run over that.

There were two resort Ladies here the day you left to look your farm over One was Dr. Cobb's wife I don't remember the other ladies name. They liked the farm & was all over it and said how well cared for it looked & I think by the question's they asked us they would like to hire us if they should buy. We told them how well it lo[???]ed and how much it produced. So I have an idea they were pleased.

Jos. Thinks it very foolish to cut the Dutchess orchard out if you intend to sell because it looks so nice & adds to the appearance of the farm. The cherry trees could be set where the alfalfa is now. And property in this locality has been so well advertised that I don't think it will be very hard for you to sell out.

posts are here & in fine shape. Oots are in barn was put in Tues. Have had rain yesterday & today The large box in barn is all nailed & stored.

Mr. Morgan will only give enough crates & bags for a load of apples at a time. So Jos. intends to get a load of Dutchess ready for Mon. Don't know if he will take any more or not.

Jos. bought the Hamilton farm I fought it for 2 years now & it has nearly made me sick abed worrying but the deed is done now & I must calm down or be with some others in T.C. We won't leave you while you arn't here so Dear Miss Taft please don't worry like I have. Mrs. Lardie has been doing a lot of blowing around it makes me feel like giving her a kick. Things that doesn't consern here in the least. But she is one of the trouble makers of the neighbor-hood any way. I suppose she wrote before this & told you we had bought.

Jos. said he wanted some place to turn in after you sold so that is the reason he took that place.

Well I must finish breakfast now, hope you are well & think of me once in a while

With love, Essie
