Dear Aunt and Uncle -


I will be glad when I see you Xmas.  I said this morn that I would ride my bicycle in front of the ford Sun. when I go to Ruthies.  That is about all I talk about.  I have a cold I cough a good bit, on the account Revival meeting I wont go to Ruths while you are there for I will take more cold going to church every night.  But you come here and stay several days (That farm traded for a property in town)
