baby. I dont go to get news so have to tell what is going on around me. I am sewing on her little dress have got it most all done. hope the dresses I made in the summer she is still wearing & fit, hope this does. its hard to make them when she is not here to try them on. she will need longer slips soon those others must be rather short for her dresses now. I guess you forgot to put in Wallaces [[Wallace's]] note to you thanking you for the snap shots. 

Lena is having a cold after her trip to California, glad it was so she could take it as that was the one place she always wanted to see & she took it with but little expense. I would like to know what the little "jingle" was she got her money on & had the luck in answering. I guess she wants to sell those stockins [[stockings]] in her little store they must be the ones people should buy in these days, since silk has gone up & is scarce.

If Bill comes later on he can take this letter to mail. we havent [[haven't]] seen him now for three weeks. we never know when he is coming. he is a friend in need though. & always fixes things when they get out of order. he was more than pleased when I gave him Pa's glue pot. he is going to Florida again after thanksgiving for the winter we miss him. when he is gone. Bill did not come last night
