three barns this winter, the police are investigating to find the cause. times are bad enough without fires. I hope by now, you got the bundle I sent today. 'Old sourcrout' I had to chase + when I handed him the bundle he says "any writing in it." not a bit, the old fool. Mrs. Osbourne is tickled to pieces over those remnants you sent her, as she has looked at mine always with so much longing. She is cutting pieces now. I have been at work all day on mine. her son + wife spent the evening last night with her stayed till 11 O'clock I went off to bed early. Bill called this afternoon. both boys admired my lobster cactus its in full bloom (xmas cactus its called). I gave Alice a little one all rooted with a number of other plants. Hattie Packard sent me a card. poor thing. hope the baby was satisfied with the presents did the mittens get there in time to hang on her tree. my last bundle is a birth day gift. guess you havent any like it. Ma.
