My Dear Ruth,
Well I wish you could have seen Daddy trying to make an apple pie. I got the crust all mixed but when I tried to roll it out it wanted to wrap around the rolling pin and then it stuck to the board so I could hardly get it in the pan, but I finally got more flour on it and the pie tasted pretty good. I wish you were here to help me eat it. Did you find the package of gum I sent in the box of curtains? Say Ruth and momma, finish that roll of film. I would like to see what that bunch of pictures is like.
(Thurs. A.M.)
I just got a letter from momma and she said you have been sick the same as John. I am sorry and hope by now you are feeling fine again. I have a cold sore on my nose and a big water blister on my thumb where I touched the hot stove so I am using salve today. Do you let the old kitty sleep in the house nights? If not, fix her a nice box in the wood-shed, cover it over and just leave a place big enough for her to get in.
Well Ruth, this is all the news for now, write soon.
Love from Daddy
