Dear
Irene,
I just
got through making 12 qts picallili and thought I would write. Haven't heard
from you since I left always wondering how you and the children are I miss you
all very much.
How
are you and the children? I am planning on going down for their birthday. I
will probably come on Fri or Sat and be two or three days with you as Roland
needs me very much. We have been very busy. Today has been a little slow so had
green tomatoes given to me and onions so I made picallili. Have written twice
to Bob since getting back and am just sending him another letter.
How is
he? As I've only rec. two letters all summer I often wonder why he doesn't
write to me. Things go through my mind wondering if I say anything to make him
angry or what the trouble is. Now you haven't written I am all mixed up inside
wondering if you are angry. Well Irene you know as Marion is no hand for work. She is all right in the dining room and it takes the three of us to handle it
and Roland is lost without me. The Sunday I was in Lowell they near went crazy
as the other woman left. Her husband came home and that left only Marion and
Rolly. They ran out of everything and Mrs. Swenson helped but she has her rooms
to take care of I tell you it is a lot of work.
Now as
Roland has taken me in as partnership that is the understanding I've had with
him or I wouldn't stay as I am in no way fit to go out and work anywhere else.
I am not getting any younger and I've got to have something coming in. I hated
to leave you and the children but you know in this world you can't have all you
want.
Please
write to me and let me know how things are and how the children are. Have you
your chairs all painted? It is getting very cold here but I don't get out very
much but, Marion takes me out few afternoons so I don't get too lonesome.
Roland has been hunting with Roger. He got a duck the other day but he shot it
over the river and it fell in the water so it floated away. He was so mad.
Write
when you can as I always welcome a letter from you. As it is getting near
supper time I'll have to close now. Kiss the children for me and send all my
love to you.
Love
Mother
Lemire
