I am posting this letter without notes, links, and not fully transcribed. I have struggled with many of the words and I wanted to maintain a daily posting. Please feel free to make any suggestions or corrections. Who knows when I'll get back to it.

you. Laurence Lerk is O.K. Giebert asked me who I was writing told him, he said
you sure write often to Robt so he wanted to know where you are and all. I was
amused at your Christmas box from home. big sweater + all, your M. gvt. Hebert sweater to big to to
much yarn I guess. About the diamond. Good investment, I guess. Lydia thought
once of a fur coat – but I told her unless it was a real good one or none at
all. I did think a nice fur neck piece would have been the really best , but
who are we to say. Yes Mrs B. I guess gets very lonesome for Fresno childish to
but it was quiet a change + loss ??? so short a
t???? for her. I hear you M. + the H.R. were to L.A. Martha wrote. I have reservations for the 12. To Fresno. I
