Dear Frank:-
Well I guess it’s about time I got busy on your letter. I wrote Helen Irvin[s letter just before supper and then I thought I’d better get at yours.
Onnellee said She would like for Marrianne, Ross, her & I to go on a picnic, when I come home. But I told her what your said, about her coming out there. However I’ll be calling her when I arrive on Sat. & if you happen to call her before that you & her can arrange. I know you’ll want me to be with you. & I told her that. Anyway La Verne wanted me to let her know when I came down & she would get over to see me. I want to write her a letter & tell her I’ll be coming this week. End & also that I’ll call her on Sat. morn. from Windsor.

Dear Frank:-
I received your letter to-day and was so glad to hear from you. I also got one from Onn. I was glad to hear you got home without any accidents as it was bad enough to get lost. I was sort of anxious to hear from you as it rained all evening Sun. up here & you had so far to drive & Ross so tired. Onn. said she drove thirty miles, if I remember right.

Dear Frances:
I received your letter the other
day & also the girls. They sure did swell in writing them too. Thanks a lot
for the box Frances. It sure was good. We just got it finished in the middle of
the week, when Johnny Burn’s wife sent him a box. He & Bob sleep with Glen
Piper & I. The four of us in our tent.
I got a letter from Glaydys
Gladys & Wilbur to-day & also one from La Verne. I sure was glad to
hear from her. She said she was talking to you before she wrote. And that you
expected coming up here this weekend. I hope you do. I’m sure counting on it.
La Verne said if I came to Cottam, to let her know & they she would
come over & see me.

Tues. nite.
Dear Frances:
Was so glad to get your letter
to-nite. I also got one from Garnet. Aunt Clara’ & John Hutzel’s G.F. Aunt
Clara sent me a box yesterday with soap, shaving cream, dental cream, candy
gum, and cand canned goods in in. I haven’t had a letter from Peggy
since Sat. And I’m really disappointed. I can’t imagine wat whats the
matter with her unless she doesn’t love me anymore. Maybe she found a new B.F
B.F.
I have had a bad cold and I went
to the doctor. They said I had acute Broncitis. But I think I’ll be all right
in a day or two I’m glad the kids got their hair done. I’ll bet they look
really nice now. After me promising it to them and then you had to do it
yourself. Well if I hadn’t went in debt for that watch. I guess I could have
fulfilled my promise
