to her for a long time, when Jeanne told me I had written a week ago). and in my last to Annie was asking her to write more
in her letter about the children you all., I know you are very busy and work hard. but I need a wee letter now again I am
so glad to hear of Annie's improved state of health. and that you are all well and will be glad to hear that you are growing
fat. you were telling me of your thousands of 3 boxes of grapes to harvest I am going to tell of ours I made some grape
