    My Dear Boy,

    …Glad to see you satisfied and enjoying your work and trust you are successful in getting your desires satisfied by working with and for Dr. Cushing. I think the others will know that they have been in the race if they beat you.

    Well we are haveing another cold wave. Had rather nice trip except that Dillon left me 2 hot tank boxes on the 336. We lost about 35 min fooling with them. On No. 5 one was hot when we got to Boonville. We usually run water on them when they get hot but the water pipes was frose. At Sedalia had to thaw them out. Was about 35 min doing it, had no trouble after.…

    I told you I think how they had men watching us at R.R. crossings.… Near everybody got letter about not stopping at crossing south of Clinton. They had me down with not stopping twice. But both times I was in Sedalia at the time they stated. I told them I was not guilty. Was in Sedalia at the time. Have not heard anymore about it.…

    I have not heard anything more about 9 and 10. The chairman said it would take time to go through it and he would have to take his time about it. It begins to look as though he was takeing his time and my time to before makeing his decision. Longate says they have eather to act or quit and let some one else do it which is about right.

    Well I am a little sleepy and mean acct of it but Mama says I must write to you so you can get the R.R. news, but you will excuse me for much when I am sleepy, won't you. I have just had a nice shave with good strap and brush. The best I ever had. Thank you for them. Say couldent you steal away and conceal your identity and have a good coast down that hill. I know you would like it.…

    Your affectionate Father
