I got a letter Saturday and we have not had any since then but Naomi had so much Monday that we felt like we had some to. Well not much news but the weather sure has been hot the last two or three days. Well dad has been falling back top and putting on the road. Well we sure are getting lots of kids in the neighborhood know all of the neighbors have got kids but us. Course Charlson has got his grandkids. And Beckers have got their grandchild to. Well I sure do hope it rain. Well I was over to Charlson to call Willie to see how Aunt Filo was and she is still in bad not much better Willie said. And the Doc said there was not much of anything you could do for her only to get rest. But I think she is down for good this time for she look awful bad Sunday when we were up there. Well I hope you are all right and I hope the finger is all right by now and your eyes to. Well I close for now so answer as soon as possible mother and dad.
