July 31 – 45

Dearest Dave:-

Nothing much to write about

here, just thot I’d say hello and

goodbye. It’s been very warm

and no one is complaining

after our long cold winter.

Our garden is really growing

now wish you and Emily

were here to share it.

The Walters are moved but

not settled yet, the kids have

been in Bishop Calif. with her

mother for a month. John

Eachert is going down to L.A.

after Doris (she’s been there a

month) and Connie will go

that far and bring them back

with Doris and John, she’s

been feeling bum said she

may have to have an operation,

he was up Sunday and had

dinner with us.

Mrs Crumley is here and living

in the house, he comes up

[2]

every week end from Arizona

or some place down there,

pretty swell eh? to be able to

fly around in a big plane

at the governments expense.

Did you know the Cornishes

and Warrens were expecting?

Also Mrs (“Doc”) Smith guess I

told you, the Ray [nurse Dorthy Dysart Judge Dysart’s daughter][1] Youngs have

a fine boy, Erick Daniel, she

was quite sick had milk

fever and couldn’t nurse

the baby.

The Daleys live in New Jersey

or around there, Andy hears

from Jack quite often he’d

surely like to get back West again.

Evelyn and Boys are home

after a month in Oakland,

Chris seems to keep well they

are all busy now with the

fair.

Surely hope Dave you are getting

a little rest and things aren’t so

bad as they were—

Love and Kisses

Alice.
