Feb. 16, 1940. Darling Lafern, How is the fruit? I hope it is satisfactory so you can get more orders. I had a card from J. F. today saying he intended to get some orders for me in a week or ten days. I wrote him to send them at once if possible as the trees are beginning to show new growth, and the fruit should be off. I am using the fruit right along and find no difference in it. If you have to lower the price in order to get orders, do so. I leave it to you.

  Mrs Putney, my blind friend, is to come next Tuesday for several days for a change. Her old blind husband died the first of the month. His daughter came  from Mass. and was her yesterday

Dearie, didn't I send you the film of the enlarged picture of me that was snapped at Harder Hall? Please have a print made, as I want to send it to an old school friend.
