less men have blood poison in his hand. They're sending for the Dr. I worked hard Saturday cleaned all the flors and fixed every thing up. I was at the cove Sunday and had a good dinner. Lots of spudds and hot dogs. Today is Munday and I slept till 2 o'clock. The churn is full of cream and the white crock is half full. I am not going to churn untill you come home.

I guess there will be enough for three or four days. I cant keep the cows away from the house now. I put a bell on the new cow and that other darn thing is in heat again and jumping and chasing her around day and night so I had to take the bell of her neck they made so much nois.
