Then be care fill the hopper and I won't have to go down until tomorrow and by that time, I hope to be able to step on my foot. Enclosed are some checks for you. I got four letters from you today. You see I didn't have any of those letters telling me you were going to drive or anything, I didn't even know your mother sent that poem in. She was too modest to tell me anything about it. It was a pretty good one. Glad you saw it and told me about it. We called Herbert today at the plant to find out how Dorothy was. He said they told him, she was a little better, but still carrying a temperature of 102. He got some woman to come in during the day & help out. I guess everyone is having their troubles. Conrad was just here, to see if there was anything he could do. I told him to take a couple lbs of the spare ribs. I had over four lbs, so just couldn't use them all. I guess Ed leaves Thursday. He is taking some man with him. Conrad thinks he is awfully foolish to go out there when living is so difficult. But guess he knows what he is doing. Marion won't go until later. Well darling, I don't know anymore to write about, so will bring this to a close. Hope you arrived without any trouble. I will send your razor sharpener, just as soon as I can get up & around. Is there anything else you want me to send? Carol felt awfully bad to think she didn't get to talk to daddy last nite. She was sound asleep. Loads of love & Kisses Mommie & Kiddies
