one mite. but you know she likes to go, & as she does not have any night work, it does not wear on her, & keeps her young. she liked my mustard pickle. how do you folks like it? you did not say, it suits me better than the spiced pickle & there were two cauliflower heads, & two bunches of celery, & cucumbers, peppers, besides the tomatoes put in, so it ought to be good. the mustard prevents it from hurting one dont you think? There is not much to write about, as I dont go any where to get news. Lottie Stickney was here Monday she is lonesome & says Mrs Stritton comes in her house every day & they have good times & she would be terrible lonely if it wasnt for her coming in so neighborly. she says they send all their old things up to Myrties. their childrens clothes, about clothe Mildrens kids & she thinks Myrtie gets coats & dresses. I know she used to. they are lucky. but M is adept at begging. Louise Johnson said that "she had the art down fine". I think Lottie would like to get more but they would have to be worn around in this town, & they would rather send them away dont you see. Little Lottie that married Kemp lives in New York & has prospered. he has 60 men under him & hires a bookkeeper & a stenographer & has just bought him an $8500 house & furnished it mostly. he has just been out to Stoughton to get his Aunt AP Whites widow & carried her home to live with him this winter. I think he must have an eye for business dont you?
