Dear friend - How are you? I am feeling fine.  Have been to church every night so far.  Night before last three more came forward.  They were Mell Coder, Leland Goodson and Ruby Gibson Haley.  We were to Portland Tuesday.  Saw Lottie, maybe she will come out Saturday and stay over Sunday.  Ruthie has a bad cold.  As ever


Your friend,


Vera
