it up.
What ever you do don't worry about
me ! am all right and will get by all

that we run short of smoking oeeas-
ionally but we get enough to get by
on When we are not at work we
pitch horse shoes and go swimming
for pastime. Send me the News
once in awhile | would like to see
what is going on in Arkansas. You
can tell the folks that am all O. X
and for them to write and | will when

as often as | can, but if you don't
hear from me very often don't worry
