Dear Nina
Well here I am writing again I have wrote you to (sic) or three letters and you haven't ans. them and guess maybe they ____ get there yet. Well how are you making ____. I am o.k. and feel fine. How is Elloise and Granddad? Has Granddad got over Grandma by now. I expect he gets pretty lonesome for her. Mom said Bob Rose would kid him about some old widow said Granddad would get mad and walk out. Wish I was there to help him with his work. I know he isn't able to do it. just hope he can stick it out till I get back then he can take life easy. Where is Mark McLain at now. Does any body ever hear from Gerald. What do you think of Ronnies pony. Eva said a lady asked him what his name was and he said just call me Bill. How is Grandma Lott. Tell her hello. Well I will have to close. Write soon. Write air mail.
Love Bill
