Dear Dad & Mother:

      I received your letter of June the 4th yesterday & maybe you don't think I was a tickled kid, as it was the first mail I had had for about a month.

      This leaves me feeling fine & dandy & hope it finds you the same.

      I sure was sorry to hear about Ernie being sick & in the hospital. Poor kid, he sure is having tough luck. I sure do wish he was with me, but we might meet over here sometime.

      If I ever find out where the old Cisna place is I'll try to go & see it, but of course it will be hard to locate it until I get the address.

      I can't see why you don't get my letters as I write one every four days & sometimes oftener. But remember if they don't come on time that they are on the road somewhere.

      Did you folks go to Randolph to the drilling contest? I got a letter from Mike's & they said that Coleridge won first. I was sure glad to hear that. It seems like if Coleridge is a small burg she can beat them other big towns in anything.

      You ask me if we are doing real work, I should say we are doing great business & I like it better all the time.

      Oh yes, what did Meyers think of Wellington's having to go back. Sent me a list of the Cedar County boys who went the last time. It sure look good to see some of them having to go.

      It seems to me that Lester Clarence & Leo B. waited quite a while to enlist.

      One of the boys here gets the Soo City paper & I see that their having lots of storms over there. We are having the best of weather here & the crops sure look great. But the storms are of a different type & will be calm soon, believe me.

      That sure was some trick U. S. Bridenbaugh tried to pull getting Jurgens out. I have my opinion of old Lyss.

      Oh yes I got a good letter from Pudge & Alta Gallagher, but it was mostly about their babe. Ha, Ha. They seem to think he is the only one.

      Well I have written about all I can think of so will close for this time. So take good care of yourselves, & may God bless you & keep you.

Your Son
With Love to All
Kinley
