spared as long as I can be so useful. You must see all you can to tell me, when you get back.  Well I must go now and put the old "hens in pens" and get milk ready for calves. We have fresh green peas from our garden now, and every thing growing nicely. we send you our love, with also good wishes for all the family. Good-bye till we see you. Lovingly Your Daughter Mary A. Garrett.
