Dear James,
We got your letter with the $5.00 yesterday. I’m glad you O.K. our plan. We had another nice rain last night at bed-time. The children have gone after the milk. Mitzi goes with them when they walk. Lately she wants to ride in the car too. She sits quietly on the back seat.
I believe we’ll drive down on Friday. We can go to West Concord on Saturday and we must come home on Monday as the garden is coming along and the fruit is ripening. The juneberries are nice this year and we’ll pick all we can this week. They ripen a few at a time so we have to pick often.
I did our washing yesterday and will iron today and go to town tomorrow. The Sweet William are blooming and also the little pansies. We had a mess of peas for supper last night. The children cultivated the peas, beans, potatoes, corn, onions, cabbage and sweet corn yesterday and I hoed the melons from 6 AM ’till 7:30. I’ll write to you again tomorrow and give you our exact plans.
I didn’t get the car painted. I’m sorry as I should like to have it look nice for our trip, but we don’t let that stand in our way. During the dry spell it was too dusty and there hasn’t been time since the rain.
“We’ll be Seein’ you” so look for our latest plans tomorrow.
Love from us all, Martha
(Thursday morning. June 29th-1933)
We had another shower last night. We found a lot of high bush juneberries loaded with berries on the south side of the field about where the fence ends. They are not quite ripe but we may pick them and leave them in the house to ripen while we are gone. The things you sent haven’t come nor has the second letter with the $5. This stalls me as I can’t use the car until I get the tire pumped. I believe I’d better start early Sat. morning. We should get there early in the afternoon and you can meet us at Camden. The car is running good and we’ll be very careful and with this rain the sand won’t bother. We’ll be back on Monday so everything will be O.K. I’ll write again Friday so you’ll know whether the things have come.
Love, Martha
