Dear Children
We are as wel as usual but pretty well tired out we have our harvesting done commenced stacking wheat today our haying is done except some marsh hay if they get time to cut it which I dont think they will the corn wants going through twice yet and then it is plow for corn wheat again and so it goes the year round work and dig all the time our oats is fit to cut now we have had so many Cherries and currants we could not destroy them like the Irismans milk I have had canned 41 quarts and dried near if not quite half a bushel of dried ones there is a good many on the trees yet we had aletter from Rozy she was comeing this fall if they could
reverse
Can you not come when they do so as to be here all to gather we would like to have it that way if convenient I am going to write to them and if it is not convenient each come when you can we want you come any way I forgot to tell you I made a carpet for the parlor last spring
