User-Contributed Transcription Leda, our girl, made some butter nearly three pounds. That was Monday, and we got the cow last Wednesday. We also have a little pig, given us about six weeks ago. He is as fat and round as an apple. The milk he has had during the last week, is a very acceptable addition to his diet. We have chickens, too, but we get no eggs from them. I hope we may now, because a stable was recently built on our lot. We think they have been going away to lay. We had a present of a hog, butchered last week. It was from Dr. Cloud, whose wife's funeral I conducted a few weeks ago. Mrs. Conver? came and helped cut it up, and made sausage for us. I must draw my letter to a close, and have to go into the country six or eight miles this afternoon. Howard will go with me, there being no school this week. With much love from us all, Your Nephew J.E. Everett.transcriber's note: In case anyone is concerned, Ella (JEE's wife, Helen Glazier Frost Everett) lived on until 1947. RMR
