Hello, Dot.

Well hope this finds you all O.K. I am still kicking and also sweating out the dam discharge. I had my records checked and am short one kid. I don’t know where I lost it. Ha. Ha. The last time I was home I had three. Ha ha. But on the records I have two. So now she has to send me a birth paper on the last one. That makes me 12 points short. So now I will have to wait till Oct. I won’t make this bunch that goes this month. They all have to be in Mon.

If it is possible, get that birth paper of mine. I am one year to dam young on the records. I just want to have them coming and going this time. I can’t spell ______ so I say paper. Ha. Ha. Ha. It sure was a let down though. I was getting out Wednesday but now it won’t be till Oct. I don’t know when they will sort us again, sometime in Oct. But I want all that stuff to turn in now. Then they can’t have any more B.S. to hand me.

Marie writes that old rough house is getting hard on the neighbors. Ha. Ha. I can see where he takes after his old lady there. Ha. Ha. Only she talks them to death while he beats them up. Ha. Ha. He’s all boy so don’t spank him for that. He will get enough bumps when he gets in school. How’s my Sis? I hope she’s O.K. Is Shirl still having a time with the man she loves? Ha. Leave her go. That’s only puppy love. Ha. Ha. After a while it will be a new one every week. Ha ha.

Well Dot, write when you can. Say hello to the old man for me. I may be able to sit down and drink one before long. Ha. Ha. Your nutsey brother. Jim.
