Dear Daddy – Yours of Feb 6-9-10 & 11 – rec’d today – read and re-read.  I will write to your folks today. It’s about time for my weekly letter to them. Hope the pictures reach you. Will get a good one of myself and have it tinted when we can get outdoor pictures. Seems it is hard for me to get a good picture at the photographer’s. D is raising a fuss. It is time for him to have a little nap before 2 P.M. soup and he had some attention when the boys were home for lunch. I think he is going to sleep now. He is heavier than Norme Stonecipher’s baby and she is 10 months old. If he gains his ½ lb this week will weigh 16 by his 5^th month. He has a slight rash on his face and I think it is from the tomato in vegetable soup so I am going to give him vegetables straight now. Jimmy Ed has a terrible rash over his face & body. Dr. M. told L. to add lactic acid but she didn’t and he got worse. She said she was going to try the acid now. I gave D. the new Mead oatmeal cereal Pabena yesterday & today but hardly think his rash is from that. He couldn’t retain tomatoe juice so I think that’s his trouble. It is warm like spring today. John said it made him feel like dancing. Mark still has a slight head cold but I let him walk to school today – it’s so warm – and yesterday a.m. was 5 below. I’ll be looking for your things even if it does take months. Will be looking for any suggestions you have about the yard. Won’t be long till time to start on things – at least planning. So let me know what you would like to have done.

Love Mother
