Dear Folks
        
We are having dry weather still but the days are cool a slight shower at midnight but only a few sprinkles of rainfall. I was alone Sunday till towards night when Lena showed up she always brings me some thing last night it was a ham sandwich which I gave to Mrs Barry for her supper as I dont care for. father always cured his hams, made a sweet pickle so the smocked ham never appealed to me. Mr & Mrs Marshall sent me a boquet of about 18 or twenty peonies both pink & white they said it was to let me know they appreciated my letting Mrs Barry off to sing for them. they fully appreciate her singing and want her every Sunday but she is willing to go and sing occasionally as its not to be thought of every Sunday. they are not able to pay only for the playing. Percy sings every other thing for them he has a good voice & then Mrs Foster most always they have & Mr Cobbs daughter & Norma Holmes, Reynolds little sweetie sings, she makes love to him in public & he likes it the sap, she is eighteen & rules him now
