I am sorry for I planned to go to Brockton Tomorrow to finish up my shopping. Lena spent Saturday doing the rest of hers, and came out last night, well satisfied to think hers was about finished, she said they had put the prices night up in just a weeks time, on things. so its policy to get x mas shopping done early in the game. if you have the money so you can. Pa said Blake was down to the store with papers that came from Washington. So I must early down ours this week somehow. I was up to Sues with the "Minister Conference letter" and Alice read it aloud to her mother. Alice still rides horseback with Hazel and Ward Winshiks wife. She has always shinked ease and house work perhaps it will always be so but her mother will dig as long as she can Alice likes to play grand lady and Sue humors her and thinks she is about what the doctor ordered. Pa says she will break her damned neck yet. We have just found those poppy seeds that you brought up to us, and mean to hold on to them till its time to plant them in the spring. Mame says that Helen has installed a new electrical washing machine in her household and that Ether is going to do wet washing I guess that will be a good sham she will earn her money easy. her little girl is six years old and goes to school. I think that she intends to live with her mother a year is not longer Ma.
