Mrs Reynolds is going to board with Mrs Ballon and so finish out the term (3 weeks) and then give up teaching as her children want her to. Booby has got home so Jack says, I guess you had a better dinner thanksgiving than we did barring the grape juice, although our fresh pork tasted fine as we had'nt had any before it had been so high priced. I have got to do something for xmas I dont know what to give Lena she needs a bag. She is thinking of sending a present to each of her stepmother's children [[?]] has been doing them up today she is very generous. I suppose you will do much baking when you get an oven with the stove it will seem good to you both I think to change your mode of living. We had a postcard from the [[Halses?]] saying they got there all rights, think they are pleased with the place Will Gage and family live there and John and his wife were there also it is [[Clearwater Fla?]] now if they only had money they would never want for anything more wouldnt it be grand, well Pa has finished his letter and I feel like saying what Sid did when you got yours finished first, but guess this will do this time please let us know where you hang out soon
