March 29, 1929
Friday P.M.
Dear Vera & C. - Lowell rec'd his card yesterday. He even noticed the little lambs picture on it. Looks like we were going to get an Easter storm. Carrie wrote that maybe they, Galens, & the folks would come here week from Sun. You folks come too if you can. We are still going to meeting. C. is going to an Easter Service this P.M. at M.E. church

Dear Cousin: - Well how's every body out your way. A year ago, I was certainly enjoying myself. I expect to go to work in Printing Office a week from Monday. Quite a good position. I don't know if it will be steady or just for the Summer.
With love to all,
