A cloudy day. A little rain
this evening. We need more
so bad. It is very cold for
May. We have had a fire all
the evening. I got a letter
from Nellie today telling
a bout Evylins little baby.
It was born the 20th of the
month. It is named Elain.
I was glad to hear from
her. Hope she may do well.
Ben has not come home
yet. I know he is put
out about having to stay.
They have bin fixing land
ready to plant all day
today. Jim went to
John Hutchersons plant
bed and got tomatoe
and pepper plants and planted
them. Then he planted
some water mellon
seed. We had early
supper tonight.
