Dear vidette:-


So many friends around home
asked me to write to them while on
my western tour and hs we are
on the go most of the time, find
it rather difficult matter to write
personal letters so if our editor will
kindly admit ! will write short
letter to our beloved county paper
and'thru this medium a,l.may hear
from me and enjoy it Just as much
as a personal letter.

ception of the two first weeks / did

home about it. Didn't want to
make any one feel uneasy. was

| was full of malaria and left me
some pills and a tonic. Well. !
haven't felt better in five years than
| feel just now and I'm sure this
Texas wind had much to do in
curing me of malaria.
The climate here is different to
ours at home. Our altitude is much
lower, being only about eight hun
dred feet above sea level, here we
are 1900 and while on the plains
We were 5000 feet above sea level.
1t certainly makes one feel different
the air here is so light and dry, one
can breathe good and deep.
This is the prettiest farming
country / ever saw, not hill to be
seen, nothing but farms and pastures
many of the farms yet white with
cotton. I've seen thousands oi
bushels of wheat in the field,
Seems the 1919 crop was bumper
one and can't possibly all be
gathered. / find it very interesting
to study these farming implements
