Dear James
We were surprised to get another package today. Everything was fine. We weren’t expecting anything more until you come up and we are waiting for that day! So I won’t forget it, my hand is all right. By the way I didn’t find the thermometer. We read the first chapter of “Smoky” after we were in bed last night. It starts out good. The children brought in some colored leaves yesterday. If you bring some gold and aluminum powders and some oil for mixing, we’ll paint some milkweed pods. The nights are cool but the days are wonderful. I wish we were both working here and could get a real start at farming.
We are out of envelopes. The children were pleased with their things. We have a surprise for you when you come.
We all send love and kisses,
Martha
