Jimmie came unexpected just as we had got on our things prepared to starting out on foot. I have had your sugar bags on the line a whole week whitening so that when I get time I am going to make them up into sash curtains. Some more yarn came Friday. I have had most a whole day between times in which I made the jacket for Mrs. Dykeman to give to Ollie it was a very large size, and hard, coarse yarn, difficult to do, and I was glad to get it off my hands you may believe.
