            Dear Thomas well here I am again and we are both fine and I hope you all right to. Well the weather has cool off a lot here now but just for a day and then I bet it be hot again. Well Walter and Mrs. Smith are going to move to town and see him when he get down in town. They have got to move in with one of old Jim Moane daughters that was all she could get. But now that the war is all over they will be plenty of places I bet. But when the boys all get home and get their family together they may not be so many after all. Well we did not get any mail yet and dad went down to Muncie to see if any came in on the evening mail but none came, so maybe we get some tomorrow. I sure do hope so and I hope you have been getting my mail to for I know you are just as anxious as we are. Well not any news so I close for tonite and I write you tomorrow nite so answer as soon as possible mother and dad.
