Dear Folks & All,

      Well no letter from you yet, but still looking for one. I received the package you sent. The razor sure is a dandy & believe me the pipe & tobacco came in handy. You folks seem to know just exactly what I need. Nothing would have suited me any better. We can get plenty of Bull Durham but pipe tobacco is very scarce.

      Oh, yes. Tell Mike & Pearl I received their letter & pictures. Very glad to get them too. The baby sure does look cute & also healthy. I will try & write them later.

      Have you folks heard from Earnest or is he there yet?

      I gave those two papers you sent a good reading. The one, you had marked Uncle Charles, It sure had the truth in it, but the Coleridge Blade wasn't so interesting. But nevertheless they all get a good reading. We don't have much reading matter here. So be sure & send some as often as possible.

      The climate here the last two or three days sure has been great. Seems as though it is Spring. The grass is green & the air is scented with the spring fragrance.

      What are you folks doing to pass the time away?

      Well this is just a mere note thanking you for the presents & to tell you I am feeling fine & dandy. Hoping it finds you the same.

      I am awfully sorry I couldn't send you Xmas presents, but next year I will be able to make up for this year.

      Write soon.

With love to all
Your Son & Brother
Kinney
