Dear Mom,

Well how is everything going these days? It must be cold as H. over in old Vt. isn't it?

Over here the weather is pretty good. I would rather have it than all that hot weather we got down south. What is Laton doing? Working pretty hard, I suppose.

I got a letter from Grant and the folks today. They are all well. Have you ever heard where Harold ____ is these days? I haven't heard from him for a long time.

Guess [I] can't think of anything else that would be of interest to you so will close, Lots of love and write soon.

John
