mentioned We have had on the table
many times already april 26th date
of Lottery. It won't be long before
We have more than We can eat. But
dear friendl When tho blackberries
are ripe, wish you could be here; for
I am sure BY the way the bushes are
hanging. full Of green berries now,
would not need to bother ourselves as
We did last summer when We went
picking blueberries and crossing the
Platte river in q boat. nearly upset.
This was back Of Anton Veidt's place,

now az large as a small hen g egg.
