Byron is here. He says that he has hired out here for the summer. He said he liked all kinds of work but picking chips father said he might get a boy to pick chips if he would do the rest. He looked arround trying to find one at last he found one but he said that one swears and he didn’t think he would do but he thought if he was up to his Uncle David’s they would break him of that but at last he gave it up and said he would pick chips himself he would do anything that we had for him to do if he could only come. Aunt Ann is quite smart now and all the rest of the family. We cary our milk to the Factory this summer. We are raising four calves. We did better than you we fated one for veal and have eaten it up. Our turkey has layed 12 eggs and the other one has gone a visiting. I had an invitation to go to a sugar party but I had a sore foot and could not go. I have not seen Eddie since last winter I guess his cold has got well ere this. Sis plagues him about it when she sees him. You must come up here this summer and make us a visit. I hope if you do you will have a better visit than you did last winter. Father and mother is well and send their love to you all and Humphrey Jamie Sis and Byron send theirs. Jamie and Sis will be expecting to hear from you before long my love to all and a share for yourself I remain ever yours Addie.
