Well, since Wed. I've been able to go to Mass every afternoon and this morning I went to High Mass and also communion. I also went to Communion Thursd. And I'm going to go every day now that it is possible. I got a letter from my little Denise. Again yesterday and I guess the poor kid felt pretty a bad about it all I don't know but I guess you all took it to darn hard for nothing. Well Dad, I'm glad that your work is much easier with the new motor's and I also hope you got all of the grain off the ground and don't work to hard Dad. Mother how are you fine I hope and not working to hard, et! Hello Blanche how are you doing Hello to Paul for me, eh! Lorraine and Emilda are you being good girls?
