Hello Joe and Lowell
Your letter received ok. and
glad to hear you escaped the Storm, was just
fair for me. having a lot of trouble with
[?] and rumatiz. but have to keep going
have had a extra good season in the garden
business. & some fruit. $84.00 for cherries $20.00 for
early apples and 40.00 for peaches extra good
tomatoe crop. Set out 4000 plants furst of
May. first tomatoes July 10. and sold 5 bu @
$50.00 in all 315.00 corn @ 35 [cents] doz and on my
fourth 100 doz. to date, but lots of work and
had to hire some help so it isn’t all profit.
at present I am remodeling the wood shed
have built a new $100.00 chimney cemented the
floor. and now am working on cupboards and new
windows. trying to get it finished by Nov 1. for
a series of Gun Shoots during the winter
had a carpenter [?] @ $1.25 per hour. but
had to lay him off acct he was to slow for me.
I had quite good hay crop 681 bales
in the Barn at a cost of $129.00
Managed to get a neibur lady a Mrs Brown
to can 43 qts Peaches, so will have peaches for
a day or to. I wished you fellows could
come out this summer but supose the Gas
[?] has your hands cuffed. I have plenty
of gas 100 gal on hand now. if you could
drive out. could you get back OK or
could send you T stamps if you could cover
them up some way.
Well I had another Birthday Sept 5
and am feeling I guess well enough for 65
but could be better. beginning to wonder
what I am going to do with this Farm.
don’t like to sell it, and can’t run it.
and do the work myself. so don’t know what
is the best way out at present. am doing OK
financially with present set up, brought another
$1000.00 G Bond for a Birthday present
and that is the second one for this year.
and thinking of buying another one before the
end of the year. besides my over head is $2000.00
or better for year, o yes my Birthday was
Amos Jennings Funeral which was at Warren
O. and was present.
well guess had better close. had quite
a thunder shower this pm and supose another
Frost about tomorrow eve. had a real killer
last Sat nite but didn’t hurt me to speak
of. as my garden business is about done
will sighn off as it is 6 am
and time to think about eats
So good luck write soon
