Dear Sid:

The day has been clear after our storm and tonight Ralph & Maud came and took us up to get the blackberry at the Golf field. We found the big clump of bushes as you had directed. Most of the flowering stalks had been winter killed but one or two that lay on the ground, as if broken down, were flowering still and with young fruit. I got all the flowers and a good part of the rest, but left just enough so you might see the rest later when you came, to be certain of the identification. The young shoots were plentiful but as yet not old enough to flower. I put them in newspaper on the spot and took them back at once and put them in your press, and shall change them as you do, from day to day. I am sorry there were no more to be gotten, - only 4 or 5 sheets in all, but that is better than nothing
and maybe Ralph could get them another year as he was with me and saw the place.

I went down to Bertha Green's early and found that she had the dress nearly done and ready to finish after trying it on. She is just arrived
