I like to see fresh clover
[?] I believe she is going to put
out her Chrisanthemum soon she
has had sweet peas out a week
I think they msut begin to
show them selves soon I dont
know but I told you [Jophen?] had

them out root and branch

of very nice sugar some
small cakes for the children
and two or three quarts
of hicktory nuts and a tea
cup full of beachnuts
Got a line from Ida that
they were on their way
it took a fortnight but
