Tues 5:00 PM

Dear Dot + Dana;

It has been terrible hot down here today, the sun really is hot. I haven’t been doing much of anything just getting my gear ready to leave. Haven’t heard anything definite yet. Probably will be soon now.

I didn’t get any letter today I wonder why. You must think I am on my way. We got paid today + I got $25.00. I sure needed it as I was pretty near broke. It seems so funny to be so short of money. I always used to have a little roll most of the time. One know I had a pay day within a few days. I hope you can manage to get along all right with what you get. Perhaps I can start helping you out when I start getting paid regular.

Everything is just the same here, so I’ll close now. Hope to see you soon!

Love + Kisses,

Beecher

Don’t write any letters after you get this.
