I some time back put up a dozen large jars of nice plums thinking you would have them next winter, but I find they are all spoiled. I put up four or five jars of nectrons two or three days a go. I hope they may keep. I intend puting up some peaches also some grapes. I wish you would let me know how or which is the best way to put the grapes. I have any quantity of them, and no end to water melons and cantlopes. I have made thirty or forty dollars by selling melons, and are now in the patch like pumpkins. one thing I miss is the good cool ice, if I only had a peice now. Goodby
