that Ruth Capen of Muery Hill was killed while riding horse back up where she is teaching school up in New Hampshire some where. Jim Capen told us about it yesterday while here to see Pa who was terrible uneasy all day long worrying over cold weather. grandma was always cross as a bear in extream [[extreme]] weather as you remember. I am busy serving these days. I thought Ilga looked terrible thin it was very kind of her to come over in such a cold day. hope Mrs. Cutting has got the better of her cold. I am going to put this letter in the door so the postman can have it now. I forgot to tell you the last box of persimmons came & those I gave to Ilga
