Christmas ride I have been dressing chickens to day picked seven the Mackies are "mum" they do not say a word when they go past I somtimes think it is almost a dream to think how it has turned out after papa's being beaten and costing so much to think that now this cost is all thrown onto Mac and we get it back I hope [       ] and Leon G_ will have it to pay and I guess they will for I do not believe that he can I will send you a dollar with this
