Dear Mother & all -------------- July 18th 1911 how is the weather down home, it is cold here so you need not worry about it being to warm. It has been a fine day today. Gennie washed and is sewing on her dress now. Louis and Walter is just coming to the barn with a load of hay so they can find enough to do! Guess this is the road that I live on but you cant see the parsnage it is just out of site. From Elsie with love.
