Jessie Crouch was telling Fern Seaton that she had a new Edison, Fern told her that She would come down and hear it someday. Jessie told her it wasn’t down here She said She didn’t think it was worth while to bring it down for so short a time, So I guess she is going to leave Redding.

I don't know if Fern is going to Mo. or not George is up about two or three time a week. Redding will be shy some more teachers next year.
