Seventh slingshot
handle broke today. I
think I will make 1
tomorrow. My first one
broke & I have made
7 others but they all broke
before I got them
finished. The ground
was frozen today so
punkin & I played
catch. I would throw
them to punkin awful
hard & he can pick
them off just as nice
as if he had been
playing all year.
I couldent throw
any paperwads becaus
my [nubber?] broke.

I forgot to say that
Yesterday I tested out
my slingshot with 8
rubbers at a cost of 2 + 5¢
It wouldent go far enough
cause there was so
much rubber that
I couldent pull it
back far enough but
now I took 2 off & it
shoots awful good
