successful I'll be. Perhaps "Ten" is hight for the two weeks here. I think five or three would do. 

Boy, I'l be glad when that first check comes in. The more I think about it, the more I think we come up on the train. You see I don't like the idea of borrowing a car. We could Express or Freight the things we could not bring with us. We would both be allowed at least 100 lbs on our ticket & then we both could carry a suitcase. If there is anything remaining, it could be shipped as I mentioned.

Better yet, we could send it up on the truck, that is a good deal cheaper. I sent the radio down for less then a dollar.

They have electricity in Geneva. Oh, no, it isn't that bad. They even have telephones & good roads.

Paul T. just called & wants me to milk his seven cows for him. He has smashed his thumb. I'll see what I can do. Cows aren't just my line but I've milked a good many in my time. They only thing is, I'm not used to it.

Will have to hurry now, so good bye for now Darlinka

Thursday Eve.

Gee, I thot I'd get to write a lot more to you, then was so much to say & now it is past bedtime and I have a bug day before me tomorrow. I am going to work on a He[…](Harvesting grain)

Now a thing or two that you asked in your letter. Mr. Herschi is about 35 years old & the wife is somewhere near that age. There are three children, I believe.

Yes we have flat irons if we do not have an electic one. 

Oh yes, & I like plum jam. 

Lewis is now in bed & I asked him about his specifications. He says, "Boy, tell her to get busy." The only specification he wants is that he can find one he can fall in love with. At present he things more of his strawberry patch than all teh girls he's had.

As to strawberries he likes the large "Mustaclion" variety, but as to girls, I think he would rather have the little wild variety.

that grows on the hills - small, but sweet.

Took a bath, shaved & had a haircut today, so now I feel a bit better. Feel like I could squeeze you right square in two.

It will be swell to have someone to squeeze soon, and I don't mean maybe, or perhaps.

Bon nuit,
