Dear Daddy –
No mail today – but 8 letters came yesterday – The $100⁰⁰ ck hasn’t come yet. The 150 & 32⁶⁰ came some time ago. It is a warm humid day – we are still having so much rain – It hasn’t rained yet today but we had hard rains Sun. & Mon. Mother is out in the yard with David. After he has his bath & 10 – feeding if the weather permits he goes out in his buggy. He is such a climber – stands up in his buggy & hold to the top. Dorothy is going to get some film for their movie camera & take some pictures of D. Floyd has taken him at 3 & 6 months. John is taking a piano lesson this morning. Mark and I are going to Laf. this afternoon with Arlene & Rosemary. I think Dr. C. should see Mark after his tonsillectomy and this is almost two weeks after. John is going to stay home and help take care of David. John baked an angel food cake yesterday. He is getting to be quite a baker. He does a good job – He is very exacting. Had a note from Aunt J. They got your letter of May – June 12. Uncle W. isn’t very well – they haven’t gone north yet but intend to. Glad you got the seed from your Mother. I sent mine some time before she sent – Maybe you will get them some time. It is getting late so I must get ready to go.
Love Mother

Oh dear….so unlikely that these survive: “Dorothy is going to get some film for their movie camera & take some pictures of D. Floyd has taken him at 3 & 6 months.” 😦
“He is getting to be quite a baker. He does a good job – He is very exacting.” Yes, one good word to describe John would be “perfectionist.” When he was in Indonesia, he learned the language so well that native speakers, when they heard him on the phone, assumed he was a local.
What a great pic of me standing in the buggy! 🙂
