Stoughton September 8th 1938

Dear Folks,

We are freezing up north all last week & so far this the wind has been in the cold quarter frosts & freezing weather have prevailed. crandberry [[cranberry]] bogs have got it bad. I have even taken up my plant, the tender ones, to save them. the geraniums are not so susceptical [[susceptible]] to cold & not many of them do I intend to take in.

Things have gone along in the same old rut I have put up the remaining pears so none of them went to waste. Mamie Kate came up the Sunday after noon that you left. she had a few pears to carry home about a half dozen which she put on ice & greatly enjoyed. She is lonesome, but otherwise enjoys her new quarters. She said Maude Capen had called her up once. 

A new tenant over accross [[across]] the way I hear is going to move into the attic we hear soon they have been fixing it up at a great rate.
