Emma to Joe, 20 February 1923

Maple Lane Hampton 20th Feby '23 My Dear Son, I missed my letter-writing on Sunday. Emerson was here "fussing" with the radio and there didn't seem any chance - but if this is mailed in town tomorrow you will get it perhaps as soon as if it had gone via Hampton. Last week we had some weather - snow storms and then a big wind. It drifted for two days so that the mail man could not get around. That's the first time that has occurred since we lived here so you can judge the amount of snow there is piled up in spots. I am hoping to get to town (with the milk-man) tomorrow - second time this year - and if it isn't too cold we may jog along to Beulah's. She and "the kid" have been sick she writes, and it does seem about time we paid her a visit in her now home. We have not had any more Grip but they've all been down with it at Aunt Ella's - Last report Grandpa was still in bed. My! it sounds encouraging to hear you counting...

Emma to Joe, 4 February 1923

Maple Lane Farm Hampton 4th Feby 1923 My Dear Joe, Here it is Sunday again, my day to talk to you and I've been most all day busy trying to keep warm. We are having one of our frequent but brief cold snaps (It will probably rain before tomorrow this hour.)  There is a lot of sickness around "Grippe", I guess. Doris is trying it yesterday and today. I hope it does not get the whole bunch going! Any way not all at once. "Papa" and Ted (and I may as well admit, me too) are having the time of their lives teasing [testing?] the radio. Did I tell you Emerson was fixing us up one? He was out last week with it but it didn't work so he took it back and we got it again yesterday. He heard concerts all week over it but we can't seem to get it tuned up quite right for though we catch scraps of speeches, music, sermons, etc. we can't get anything plain. It's about as aggravating as a Ford engine. You'll think I'm long on promises if yo...

Emma to Joe, 29 December 1920

Maple Lane Farm Hampton 29th Dec 1920 My Dear Son, By this time you must just about think you are forsaken. We just got your letter (of 22nd) from Camp 5 to-day. I hope in the meantime you've had our letters - Doris's & mine - if you haven't the bit parcel from North Bay. Well! Christmas is all over again. It was pretty tame here seemed to me. Beulah & Charles came in time for the Christmas tree on Wednesday and stayed over Sunday. Went up to Vivian's Christmas for dinner & tea. So there were three less here than last year.  Florence Cameron was here for tea Sunday. Today Trace Glaspel and Hazel were married (Wes G. and wife are fixing up the little house!!)    School meeting today election - I mean - J. Cameron is the new trustee in Herb Pascoe's place and Papa is Secty Treas. I s'pose Doris told you Miss Cruse again reconsidered her resignation - Frank Pascoe is home again. Miriam has had a great Christmas - 2 dolls - a little broom, ...
