Dear Mike:
I am answering your letter
that you sent me June 10, 1912.
Geeminee was I tickeled to git
a letter from a friend of mine
so far away. You dint say some
thing the censor man didn't like
so your letter came thru fast.
Your folks get all of your cable
grams and everyone that they
git makes enuff tears to last
until you send the next one.
No fooling Mike that is one of
the best things anybody can do
is to send home letters and
cablegrams if you can but send
your letters. I know they miss
them as much as you do. Me
and Holus Johnson, the guy
that owns this paper, shure felt
good. Holus liked it because
you sed to be shure to have all
the boys to be shure to have
the paper come to them, as the
news Travelled faster than by
mail. You knoe Holus amt a
! bad guy. He tole me that !
wood lose in the primaries so
that is all that I don't like
about him but now we are swell
friends agin.
You tole me that you never
seen no Beauty rest mattresses
in Australia. I think that's be-
cause maybe everyone there is
so healthy that if they had a
beautyrest mattreSt it woodn't
help them much. Do people
there kick about having rooma-
tiSum, lumbago, headaches, bel
lyaches and signuS treble. If
they do tell them to send me
$3.50 by money order or some
way and I will guarantee that
all of their trouble will leave
them. Il hope).
Gee I'll bet you wish you was
home, but in a way you're real
ly better off because there is
hardly any of the boys you're age
at home any more. They are all
somewhere with you. If there
is any at home they are trying
to go and for some reason or
other can't go. Heck, even my
| kid, Mickey, wants to go. He al
ways wishes that he was old
enuff but he amt so he will jus
hafta wait.
You're mother and father were
in yesterday and bought a kit
chen cabinet. I tole them that I
was riting you. You probably no
tice everything is spelled rong
but whats the difference since
I amt going no place.
Is it winter in Australia in
! July. If it is send some over for
a month or 2. You're brother,
Joe, asked me to rite you and
! ask if you kin git off for about
3 weeks to harvest the grain
and beetS. To me it looks like
the beets amt all gonna be har-
vested. What gifts me is that
enybody that werks for you now
has ia be handled with KID
gloves. Heck insted of hav'n
! guys Werk for you, you hafta
Werk for them. Oh yah befor I
fergit is there any red haired
gerls there. How about blends.
I mean natural blends. Well I
don't knoe of enything else so
I pass.
Oh Yah I lost again as usual
in the race for Representative.
| Charley Clement lost 2, and
Sarpy Sam and Roy Chambers
are runnin neck and neck for
last place for sheriff. I'm quit
tin the democratic ticket. From
now on I'm gonna run on the
Republican ticket and my slo-
gan will be a Rosyveltian Re-
publican. Whether you knoe it
or not it was a mistake that I
ran on the rong ticket the ferst
time. The ferst time I ran I
wanted to run against Dan Mad
dox and I always thot Dan
was a democratic becuse his
Partner then, Chas. Quinn, was.
I filed on the Democratic ticket.
After I found out that I was
on the rong ticket I tried to
switch to the Republican ticket
but Harry Cox sed you can't
change once you have filed.
