My dearest girl,
I did not expect a letter again today and I received it on my knees. I was scrubbing the floor and Jack brought it up to me. I have just packed a little box for you with the things you ordered and I’m sending my cash book for inspection so send it back soon and I am sending 2 of the latest newspapers. There is lots of talk about the NRA, I guess it’s going to go through OK, everyone seems hopeful. I am glad you are putting up the cherries.
Last night I got done two hours before Jack so I made an apple pie and then peeled the rest of the apples and we had a cup of raspberries left so I mixed them all together and made a qt. of sauce. This morning Jack bought a qt. of vinegar and I fixed the beet pickles. I think I should have put a little water and more sugar on them for they were pretty strong. The pie was good.
Jack did the dishes and emptied the garbage can and got ice while I scrubbed so we were both busy all morning. Each one takes care of his own bed. I am ahead of Jack on the food bill so I won’t have to pay out much more till pay day so I have plenty of money.
Well sweetheart, it don’t look as if I was going to get much work today. I hope President Roosevelt socks old McGill plenty as we sure have slim pickings as it is now.
Lots of love from Jimmie
