The man came to clear out Ballentines back yard he has sawed up both of those logs & got the loose wood piled up ready to carry away. he is going to cut down the other dead tree where they (Ring & Conlon) have their radio attached & it began to rain then, so he had to give it up to day [[top margin]] P.S We think Pa is improving some he read his Sunday paper & seemed to sense what little he read he is not as fractious these few days past either, but is so hungry for his meals. & he thinks he dont have any thing to eat he is sound asleep in his chair & its 7 oclock Lena is corecting [[correcting]] her Papers. he has to read every thing I write to you Ma.
