Dear Gail and John R-
I rec'd your letter & glad you are having such a good time John R. Be a good boy & help Paul & Gail. So sorry to hear that Neva hasn't heard from Stub yet. Marie Mc told me yesterday. Tell her not to give up she will hear. Gail if you have some extra sugar, you might can up 4 or 5 qts of Dewberries for me and when I come after John R. I will bring you some. Don't can many. It is too hot. I am just swamped now. Haven't time for anything will write a letter later. Love kids will write you too
