Dearest Ellen,
Your fine letter came this morning and I was very glad to get it. The more you write the better but I suppose that could go for me too.
Today has been a funny day - windy and rainy all day long. We wouldn't much more get started working and a rain would come up making us hike for cover. Then as soon as it would stop we'd go back to work. I've been hoeing with the men in the fields these past two days. I didn't have a plan to work on so Uncle Jim decided that fighting weeds was the most important. I'm a pretty expensive man to have on a hoe but work is work. I'm not used to such hard work and last night I was pretty tired.
Well tomorrow we are going to Indianapolis. We didn't get the job to keep me here so I suppose I will be home for a while. Dad needs me pretty badly at home and that is the place I should be. Uncle Jim needs someone, too, but right now I think my place is at home. We have to get ready to send the kids to school too and that means some cash in a hurry. Mother and Dad have had a spat with Grandma over some trivial things so I don't suppose she will be up there again this year. Mother doesn't think she wants the same arrangement as last year but maybe by the time school is ready to start things will be straightened out. Uncle Quincy said to keep the girls out of school because Laura May only got one year and that was enough. I'll bet that nearly made Mother boil. She asked Dad what he thought and he said if we could they will be back in school. If he was able to keep both Les and me in school alone the three of us together ought to be able to keep three of them going.
Well tonight I have another date. Jean thought that since I'm going away tomorrow we ought to go out tonight so she called up Flo and asked her to go with us or me. We are going to a show and then???
I'm sorry I don't have any time to write more now. Bill is ready to take us so I will close. The next you hear from me will be from Indianapolis.
All my love,
Larry
