Dear James,
While waiting for the wash water to heat I’ll write you a few lines. We are all feeling well. We had a nice rain Wed. A.M. It started before daylight and lasted off and on until noon. I had jars and pails along the places where the roof leaks but in spite of that the rain leaked thru in two places. The children are learning pieces for a Halloween program at school.
I sewed two afternoons at Jenson’s. I wish I had a machine as there is lots of sewing to be done. Ruth is growing out of all her clothes, and John isn’t far behind. Please send me the heaviest outing flannel you can find, either white or colored 36 ins. wide; some Kolynos (toothpaste) and a jar of cold cream.
One of the bows on Ruth’s eye glasses broke. I must get busy now. Hope you are feeling better, Sleep all you can or lie down as much as you can. That is the best thing you can do for a cold.
Love from us all, Martha
