letters, Ill put your name at the head of my list- a la Mary! We had a rainy night and shower this morning, it is now about 7-30. The men have gone to milk after having had breakfast - John is eating, and Mary brushing her hair. She brushes it vigorously & long two or three times every day, and a new growth of hair is coming all over her head. It is most 1/2 an inch long already. I brush mine too, but not so faithfully- with I know not what success! My hair is greyer than when I left you and face more wrinkled and shoulders more rounded! Wonder if you would know me if we met unexpectatly at the Centennial! Especially as I have such

in top margin then I put a kettle of small potatoes on for the pigs I had filled the last evening- so I got and peeled potatoes for dinner that I might cook the skins on top of that big kittle. If a hog had as many stomachs as a cow I don’t know how John could find enough to fill all with his 22 big hogs. He gives them shelled corn cooked in milk or water - 4 pails full I think twice a day - corn on the cobs, milk, rotten apples, kitchen slops etc. John puts 1/2 a cup of thick cream, every morning when he skims, for Mary. Her stomach has not encouraged her to eat it the last two days so I kept it for her - but when it got sour first day I ate it. Today I put it in the Jonny cake! You ought to have a piece! I take three cups of buttermilk , two eggs, two table spoonfulls of sugar, salt, soda, a little flour and corn meal to make a rather thin batter. Usually I put two tablespoonfulls of malted shortening. I wish this sheet was larger. Good by with love. J Everett
