User-Contributed Transcription Their mother sent them two apiece writing one set back handed. The others they laid to her charge at once but thought the back-handed ones from Jennie - and Hattie, with this impression, sent one to Jennie as a reply. Anna came over to tell Jennie to keep dark. I got baby a new pair of shoes Saturday - and we had some very nice steak for dinner that day & yesterday which I wish you could have help us eat. Two & a half lbs made us two meals & a hash. We have not been able to get chickens at all since you went away. The butcher says he does not have them at all. The kitchen wood holds out yet - but I expect I ought to be getting some sawed. Ann called for her clothes after text upside down Tell me what my error was in spelling, so I may not repeat it.
