children are going to school today. yeasterday [[yesterday]] was the day they went to the fair. last year was stormy childrens [[children's]] day so they put it off until Friday. I guess the Drake girls are very much pleased with their house since the bath & toilet were put in. Kimptis said it was what was required nowadays & against the law to be without one. for my part I like the old way myself but guess this is the healthyest [[healthiest]] no doubt, where the near neighbors are conserned [[concerned]]. 

That reminds me of Charley & I when we were flieing [[flying]] a kite we were little children & he had to bare suddenly to go to the backhouse the kite was way up in the sky he kept telling me to hold it tight when all of a sudden there came a big gust of wind & blew it out of my hands, he had no more than got there to do his business, when I yelled "Charley the kite has gone" he came out in a hurry with his pants hanging down. the string happened to catch on a hay stack in the next field & saved it. wernt [[weren't]] he glad you bet.
