Dear Mom,

Got your letter today. So Virg got home again, did he? Probably I will see him sometime over here. They seem to be telling most all of them over here.

I was kind of surprised to hear of ole' Ruth getting married, but I guess most of them do sometime.

Got a letter from Joe Turner today. He is around here somewhere. Guess [I] will look him up sometime.

How are Ralph and Addie getting along? Still separated, I suppose.

You must have a lot of snow by now, don't you?

I think I told you about getting the pen.

How are Grant and Faye getting along? It will be nice if they do get up home. Write soon. Love, John
