Dear Mom

            How is everything going with you folks these days?  Fine hope.

            Got a letter from Virg the other day.  He seems to be doing alright.  Also got a letter from Bernice.  They seem to be O.K.

            Well, starting another new year again.  Time sure does fly doesn’t it.  We had a good dinner today.  Turkey, cranberry sauce etc.

            How is the weather these days in VT?  Must be getting right down to real winter now.  How is Grant and Clark getting along on their project?  Must be quite a market for lumber these times.

            Well, guess I will quit for now and go to the show.  Write soon.

                                                            Love, John
