User-Contributed Transcription Friday 9 a.m. Jan 20, '56 Darling Tafern, Have just rec'd this letter and while I'm waiting for Cora and Clarence to come, I'll begin my letter to you. I laughed like everything over that cartoon. Wish we had as good an artist here! The weather modulated and has been livable without the woodstove the last 2 or 3 days. Predictions are for a return tonight, but we have no clouds today so I don't see how it can freeze soon. I hate to admit it, but no oranges picked yet. Sometimes I feel like climbing and picking them myself -- but the hospital looms up, so I don't try. Maybe that fruit is the tangelo, now. Tangelos are abt as big as grape fruit, lemon color, few seeds and sweet. tangerines are small, thin skin so you can pull it off easily and divisions are easily eaten without a lot of juice, and they are deeper color than oranges. Shall be very interested to know the reactions to the Three Bears after next Sunday. Wish I could see those Disney pictures. I subscribed for Marlene to have the little mag pub'd at Poukipsee (N.Y. poor spelling) [Poughkeepsie] of Disney's cartoons. Cora has ---- Cashed the p.o. got 99 cents of 3rd and book of air mail stamps. Then to bank and deposited $28.00 of the Old Age acct - am buying a new ladder 22 ft at 30 cents per to be delivered, and maybe the boys who deliver will do the picking. Cora engineered all this, and told Keller ( the man who sold the ladder) that she would pay for it if I didn't want it.
