 The Press: enclose clipping from The Press of last week, believe, that is most interesting, as it gives news that we are all of us, who are away from your old town, interested in. There are now but few names see in the paper that l know, but when it comes to the weather that helps ms out. and we can compare it with what we have at our present homes. The days covered by this slip were very hot heFe in Topeka and I have word that the same time was ditto in Denver, while in California it was also warm. One hundred degrees in Stafford would seem much warmer than no here, and appreciate how you people felt at over 100. Our past week has been much cooler and more like Kansas Falls usually is, but very dry, for the summer has injured crops materially that can hardly recover with the recent rains. en. joy The Press ever so much and am always glad to see it come.
