Chapter 79

Dearest Daddy-Long-Legs:
Work is a lot of fun, have you ever worked?It's even more fun if your job is something you love.Since the beginning of summer, I have been writing vigorously every day, freely and freely, but I feel that the time is too short to write all the beautiful things I think about.

I've finished the second draft and will be working on the third draft tomorrow morning at 7:[-].It's going to be the best book you've ever read, it's true.It takes over my whole being.Every morning, I couldn't wait to get dressed and eat to start writing, and then I wrote and wrote endlessly, until I was exhausted before taking Collins (the new collie) for a walk in the fields to plan the next day's writing material.It's bound to be the best book you've ever read, sorry I just said that.

Don't you think I'm too proud, do you, dear uncle?

I'm not, really not, it's just that I'm in the mania phase right now.Maybe in a few days I'll calm down and revisit it.Get bored quickly?no, I can not.I'm sure!This time, I wrote a really decent book.Just wait and read.

Talk about something else!I forgot to tell you that Amasa and Carrie got married in May!They still work here, and I think that when people get married, things change.Carrie used to laugh when Amasa got mud on her legs or spilled ashes on the floor, but now she cursed and she didn't curl her hair anymore.Amasa, who had always enjoyed moving lumber or sweeping carpets, grumbled when asked to do them.Also, his ties were scruffy. They used to be bright red and purple, but now they were either black or brown.I don't want to get married anymore, when people get married they start to go downhill.

There is no big news in the countryside.The cattle were strong, the pigs were fat, the cattle seemed content, and the hens laid plenty of eggs.

Mr. James Macbeth called on us last Sunday.Dinner was chicken and ice cream, and he obviously liked both.I was happy to meet him and realized that there was another world.Poor Jimmy's work is not going well, and although he is willing to pay 6% or even 7% interest, the Agricultural Bank still refuses to accept it.In the end, I think, he'll just have to go back to Worcester and work in his dad's factory.Jimmy has a frank personality and a kind heart, and financial transactions are not suitable for him.However, being a successful garment factory manager should be very suitable, what do you think?But he is currently sniffing at ready-to-wear, and I think he will gradually become more realistic.

I hope you understand that this long letter is written to you by a man who suffers from finger cramp.I still love you very much, dear uncle, and I am very happy.Beautiful scenery everywhere, good food, a comfortable four-poster bed, a stack of white paper and a large bottle of ink-what more can I ask for in this world?

you as always judy

Also:

The postman brought news that next Friday Master Jervie was coming to stay for a week.It's a joy to have - however, my writing suffers.Master Jervie was not easy to serve.
