User-Contributed Transcription see other side 1950 Darling Tafern: Yours came this morning. So glad to get it as was afraid you were snow bound, or something. Armistice Day and Sunday hindered mail delivery. Have just ans'd this from Frank, and told him I'm not able to board anyone. That I thought he had decided against Fla. and have had 5 answers from the ad. you put in the paper, and that I expect renters about Christmas time. The express on bushel of fruit is $2.13 up to Nov 15. Suppose it goes up after that date. A letter from June Johnson Smith same mail as yours. Wrote her the apt. still available and asked 2 months rent to hold the place. Also wrote the deal has not yet been completed, so she still has a chance. Told her the older boy could sleep on army cot in garage if she finds it too crowded in apt. told her Garage has laundry tubs with hot water available but not constant. Also good laundromat in town she asked about that. Saw and heard the Great Caruso twice last week Had Lena clean living and dining r. yesterday. Knee still sensitive but not bothering. Old Mr. Riffle had light heart attack last Thurs. or Friday. Been busy at many things. Interested in great news from the M.C.'s Hope to hear all about the celebration last Sunday. Love to Lucille and Nancy on their birthdays. Going to town now, nearly 5 p.m. for bread and to mail letters. Must reprove your for sending the $10.00. Wells paid rent on the 5th Thanks for everything Much love, Mother
