Dear Brother and sis Will write you again as I have wrote 2 cards and I was thinking your arm was broke or you was sick so I am writing you. Again. We got a letter from Anne and she said her mother and sister was arranging for thire marrage and she said that her and Buster would start farming as soon as they got to the states she said she didn’t know any thing about farming but she said she would help all she could. She said she might need lennons and dish cloths and dinnerware and sheet and pillow cases. And she said that the Germans took ever thing they had. She said she was working and she would save the money and bring when she got to the states boy I don’t know where she will get things for I can’t find anything myself. Well sis and brother we sure are having some rain it looks like it may fair up now. Well, meet we was down at your house there and you wasn’t at home. Boy did we ever have a storm down our way it up rooted trees and twisted tops out of big trees. We went down to Della Mae Hoods Sunday and it all most blowed over things at their house and by Cloverdale it was awful bad. Well I will close. I am going to wash today and get ready to pick rasberries this week. I have got 20 quarts of cherries and 30 quarts of mustard greens and 26 quarts of pies about 1, ½ quarts of goose berries. Well I will close out soon and come over, when you can. We got that gun Buster sent. I wish you could see it. So good by – Ida to NG
