Dear Robert[1]-
I’m going to
try a V mail and see if you get it. This is account of you haven’t mentioned
getting any air mail from me.
Thurs.
a.m. I’m at Mama’s with a washing. Our machine
gave up the ghost. Paul[2]
will be home in a few days and he has his work cut for him- washing machine,
yard etc. etc.
Mama has
been with Lyd. She went down with Billie + Hubert Sunday and came back with
them Thursday. She had a nice time.
Paul has
been East for five weeks[3]
and we’ll be more than glad to see him.
The boys are
growing like weeds. Bill[4]
is improving daily in looks and behavior. He looks more like a Richert than
ever before. There is a snap here of you taken at age 10 and it looks like
Bill!
Well, it is high time to get at the washing.
Your letters
are greatly appreciated and I still say you are the best letter writer in the
family.
Love
Elizabeth[5]
