Dear Aunt Hattie:

I suppose you think that I have forgotten how to write, but I think that I have just had a dose of laziness. I guess that wouldn’t be writing now, but I co,e to work to-day and I haven’t anything to do right now so I am going to write to you while I have a minute. I am ashamed of myself for not writing before.

I have been so busy this summer that I haven’t had time to do hardly anything. I have one more room to clean and then I will have all of my cleaning done. I had all of my bottles filed once but right now I have a quite a few empty again. If Alt can kill a deer I think that I will make some mincemeat and put in them.

I took Lota up home to-day while I come to work. She likes to go up and see her Ma and Pa.

Milt and Ike went hunting. Donald and another fellow from Price came out and went up with them. They started off like they thought that they were going to have a great time.

Lorna has gone back to school. It surely seems good when she is home for awhile.

We got a new car about a month ago, so of course we haven’t any money to buy much else; and then I finally managed to get me a sweeper. It is a Singer.

I haven’t heard how Aunt Pheobe was for a quite a while. She was a little better for awhile, but then she had to go back to bed.

Lota takes all of my spare time now playing with her. I either have to play with her or let her go to the neighbors to play. She is getting now so that she wants to run away a lot.

All of the folk are just fine. Lucy had a tooth pulled yesterday, but I guess it wont bother her very much. She is going to have them all out just as soon as she can get the courage.

Well, I don’t know anything else to tell so will close with love

Jen
