Dear Parents,
We are expecting a letter from you today. We did not get one yesterday or the day before that. Yesterday was quite hot 95° in the shade. It is beginning to get a little smokey.
You have not said a single word about Mt. Rainier.
We got in the oats yesterday. We got 3 loads into the farm by assiduous struggling, and I guess that there are nearly 3 more. We sold one load to Mr. Henderson. We have not yet found a purchaser for the rest of it. The garden is doing very well. I dug part of the Early [?] Potatoes several days ago, but covered them up again, as I did not feel like getting them in and Willie was gone. I hope you would not take offense at the way I wrote on the envelope, as I was a little abstracted, and got the “Mr.” written before I considered what I was doing and what might be the result of a mistake Today is Sarah’s birth-day as your daughters remember.
