He must of left the key on the car yesterday and when he went to come home last nite the coil was burnt up so he had to drive the truck home and now he got to take the car to the grade to get one of those put on it and you know how he stays about anything like that. Well I talked to Naomi yesterday morning and she was all right to and she said they had got $40 of the money back and I am sure hope that they get it all back. Well this is any washday and I must hurry or the old man will be along and I won’t have my letter out here.
