I will send you a little present as soon as I get a chance to go to San Antonio.

Sis write me a postal card every other day or so so I get some mail and news so I know what is going on at home and in the city.

As soon as I go to town I will get some pretty Post Cards and send them to you so you can see what kind of a Town San Antonio is.

I am having a fine time down here all we have to do is to eat sleep & drink lots of good well water.
