have received quite lot Of mail
lately in the different places we have
been. and have a pocket fun now
Have been waiting for a chance TO
answer some of them We were on the
so almost all the time. so there wasn't
much chance. l got a letter from
Wilbur Hunting yesterday. l see by
almost all your letters that you are
having lots Of hot weather and not
so much rain. Wei. it is opposite here.
1t has rained every day for the last
month or more Ii can cloud up and

is raining hard now.
I am glad to hear that Pa has such
good luck With the engine. 1t sure
must be a pleasure this year. You
said I probably would get enough Of

remember the last time 1 was under

cause it is a taste OF their own medi-
cine. Yes. some of the towns we have
passed through had been deserted and
We passed through some that were
mere shambles Of former structures
nothing left and could hardly tell
there was a town there at one time. /
sure will be glad when I won't have to
write any more and when I do get
home I won't write any more letters
for q year. I received a Times paper
yesterday-the first one in over a week.
T don't think 1 get all Of them. as they
probably get lost or something. May
be they have hard time keeping track
Of me. I have been busy all morning;
don't know whether I have this dated
