Dear Friend, Well how is everything up there. I am having a good time down
here and like it first rate only it has been awful dry down here. The
only area I saw from up there since I have been down here was Fern
Sloniker and Mabel Rossman when they was at Oshkosh to summer school.
But have enough to do to keep from acting lonesome.
