to the country, where l get less than |
one-third offered for work similar TO |
the other town position; but while
it has it's disadvantages, still the one
big thing is you have the children
with you.

this place for the past two years |
have raised chickens on halves and
realized quite help from them
when wintet clothing was to be
bought. ~
If / had it to begin over, l would
do one thing different, l would hire
out to some man in a large enough
place where If the children went to
school l could take business course
or attend night school and nave
the use of public library. one
thing more: II you should hire out
as a housekeeper make sure they
want you the year around.
Most farmers don't care to pay
through the winter, for at that tune
their work is light, and they would
lust as soon batch" but II you want
10 stay for your board, you're well
come. Sincerely,
ANOTHER RESPECTABLE
WOMAN.
