Dear Martha,
I received another letter from you today. I am always glad to hear from you and it answered a question that was bothering me. That was if you had the car on 4 legs again. I answered your question about what to do only the more I think about it the more I think you should come Thursday so as to be sure to make it and have a little time to shop altho money is scarce but we always get by (don’t we?). Say sweetheart I can’t hardly wait to see you and the kiddos and the Pup. Tell Ruth I have her order filled and I have something nice for John.
Today has been just terrible, the radio said 100 when I got home at 4 this afternoon. I worked a one-piece day run on Bloomington. I am glad you got the rain for it is going to be a life-saver for us to get the garden stuff and some grain. Things look pretty tough for a lot of folks. They are burned out in the Dakotas and some of the other wheat states. Wheat is over $1.00 a bu. now.
Well I think I gave you all the instructions you need for the trip, just be careful, and leave the car in a place in Camden so you can tell me where to get it and leave Mitzi in the car as you can’t take her on the street car unless she is in a box. Be sure to lock things up on the farm and have tools and things like that put away. Bring the car keys to the room here with you.
Well Martha I will try to send you one more letter before you leave. So by-by with lots of love to you and the youngsters from Daddy
