Dear Folks

We are having cooler weather last night the wind got into the North west so I thought the plants on the porch would suffer, so we took them into the kitchen & there they are safe. then I took my table cloth off the kitchen table & covered up those chrysanthemums out by the little building, but they did not suffer, they are just beginning to come into bloom. there is a very double light pink one, dark red very double, two yellow ones, very pretty yellow & brown another pink yellowish & one single white, looks like a daisy almost, she wanted me to pick them. I thought they would last longer out side. I could see them longer, the marygolds I picked, as they were easier to freeze, the frost turns them black. 

We were sitting listening in to hear Amos & Andy, when who should show up but Maude & Ralph, they brought one of the pictures taken at the shore & framed. it was very good of us all. Maudes eye is no better, it is very much inflamed, they are worried. Mrs Barry says its in her blood eating or stuffing would bring it on, an embolism would follow, she said her husband was a doctor. & she knows the system.
