Dear Martha,
I am glad you are feeling better and hope you like it up there for I think it will not be long till we will all be farmers. I am glad the crops are growing good — that will help. The Street Car business is getting worse rite along. I can only hold a run till July 16th, then I’m on the extra board again.
(Continued on Thursday)
I was in court and made 4 1/2 hours overtime and I thought that would partly make up for the Fourth so I am going to see Pa and Ma for a couple of days. I think it will be my last chance for some time. Today is the first time the car has been out since I got home. I am coming up soon but don’t know just when it will be. Guess it will be when I get on the extra list. Did the slippers fit? Gee, it’s hard to pick out things for some one else. Oh say, I forgot to tell the children what I got with my birthday money. I got me a nice leather belt –it is wider than my old ones and has a nice buckle –it cost me .69 cents but it was marked $1.00.
Lots of love to all,
Jim
