They fixed the coffin good and dry. We waited until about 4 oclock yesterday for you to get here. Rune's folks all come but started back this morning. They are so bad behind with their work they said they were bound to get. Last night I took 2 bales of my cotton to town Friday am going to take 2 more tomorrow and have not got my last one gined yet. I ain't stout enough to do much else and thought I would haul it off while I could not be at much else. We got our potatoes planted yesterday and plowed up the old cow lot for a garden. I got wire friday to fence it with. I won't do much this week in the field. Have got to haul my cotton to the gin go to town and put up the garden fence. Hope Bill is better by now so I will close. Coulter has got some plowed.
