I didn't hear any more from the party that asked about the piano and I expect Albert will take it apart and drop some of it down the well, Ma thought it ought to make some music down there and perhaps it will. I hope we will get some one in up stairs soon and Albert will try to get some one as it will mean some money for him on the coal bill. I told him we were going to charge $30 for upstairs and not to tell that he was getting his for 25.
  I asked Ma to come over Thanksgiving day to dinner and she said she hadn't been invited. I told  her I was inviting her now and she said she would come. She was down one day about a week ago and looked over some clothes and wanted me to give them to Tommy the Italian and he seemed glad to get them. Said he didn't have any work and didn't have any money - 
I have a check from the Co op for you which I will send with this letter.
Suppose the baby is getting smarter every day and is looking forward to Christmas. We will be glad to see you all. Hope to hear from you again
                  Love from Ralph -
