July 16, 1944

Dear Addie,

Received your letter a few days ago. Was glad to hear from you. Certainly would like to have been there to go to South Hill with you. I know you had a grand time. Certainly was sorry to hear of Eva’s condition. I know she will just worry herself to death now.

Byrdie wrote me that Wallace (Pully) and Cathel have another daughter and that Wallace was to be inducted in the Army the 14^th of July. Guess Lorena will go crazy now that he had to go in army.

Have had letters from different member of family all seem to be well and working hard in crops.

Byrdie wrote me that Nellie us working at First and Merchants certainly hope she likes her work.

When have you heard from Mrs. Firesheets how is she getting along?

I don’t know whether I wrote you that Teat said Aunt Lucy wanted one of those pictures of me. I believe there was one left and I want you to send it either to Teat or to Aunt Lucy. Guess you noticed I made first class.

Love to all,

Kermit
