Dear Mother: -

I expect to get off
Friday noon on my pay day
liberty and if everything comes
out alright I will arrive in
San Luis Sat. morning about
five o'clock. Nearly all of the
Arroyo boys here are going down.

So tell Duke to get the
super-six out and come up and
meet me or I can take the jerk
water down if not there. Am still
in detention but am expecting
to be out most any time. Got a
letter from Aunt Sadie the
