said Effies family were coming there for Thanksgiving but she spoke of having fresh pork they are afraid fowl are too high.

I do a lot of extra work as it is busy as a bee all the whole time. This day isnt much like last week Sunday. how I wish you and Sid could have been with us to have seen that deer just before we got to Erastus Smiths, he was feeding on apples at the edge of the woods, and was as large as a two year old calf. I told Pa not to mention it to any body for fear of his being shot, poor thing with such gentle eyes. I am going to put on my dinner to cook our turnips are very sweet we got enough for "old Drake" Pa's "sucker"  he doesn't speak to me, but I shall live just as long just the same and Ill do everything I can to balk him too.
