know dear.

We are very well here. Richard is
at a house party at Dodge's at Walnut
Creek. Charlie took him down
in the Lozier to spend Sunday thru Friday.
There was to be a dance
on Friday night. We expected him
today but he has not come yet – No I
remember now that he was not to come
until Monday. When do you think
Camp will break up? Or at least
when do you think you will come home?
Soon I suppose.

The Simmons property is filling up
pretty well now, you would be surprised
to see how much work the dredger has
done.

Tuesday is Les's 21st birthday! Norman
sent him a nice fob – gold & ribbon.
Remember us to Mr. Fisher.

Lots of love from us all

I am going to bed as it is 10 PM.
A dance at the boat house last night but we
did not go. Were busy about poor Mr. Dodds.
Take good care of yourself - Your loving Mother

When you come home be careful on the boat to not fall overboard.
