    Well My Dear Son,

    …It must be sad and disapointing to the doctors to see people come in to have operations performed when they are almost dead. I was glad you made such a good guess on that womans tumor. To bad she did not come earlier.

    You want to know about engines etc. here. I don't see much of them. I am more interested in farming. We are about 2 miles from the railway. We have been threshing etc today. Mama came and helped but not long. She soon got enough. I tryed to bottle straw but could not do it like the farmers.…

    Did those people show you the flaw in your diamond. Maybe they where trying to work you. If you could find some one that wanted to buy one you might do better than selling it to broker or dealer.…

    We took a long walk 2 days ago where they used to make turf on the bogs. I pulled some earth that I will enclose. And I will go and get you an Irish daisey as they are rather scarce at this time of the year.…

    The people around here takes well with me and Socialism. They think it would be fine.…

    Your affectionate Father
