We hang up the curtain in the parlor and Sitting room and found that there were one short for the little window in the Sitting room. did you make it and send it we have misplace it if you sent it. If you didn't make it will you when you are down town - get another curtain for the window and send it down and mama will make it, as you will have all you can do with out it.
We planted 4 acres of field pumpkins yesterday some watermelons and squashes today.
don't let this curtain worry you for it it will be all right.
