it even better. 
Honey, do see about that income tax right away. Whatever it will be, you can write a check for the amt. & send it in for the both of us.  It worries me so I do want it taken care of before the last minute. Let me know what to do. The assessor was here last nite. He assessed us for $20.00 the same as last year.
I went up to pay my Dr bill this morning. He charged me $7.00 and then I have 3.00 to pay for the x-ray yet.  That was kind of expensive wasn't it? Glad it was no worse. I took the tape off last nite. 
It is raining out now. I guess we are due for a change in the weather. I sure hate to see it. It had been so nice & warm. Kids are all O K. John R.'s music teacher has been sick, so he isn't progressing so fast in his music, but played well what he has.  The kids practice their dancing every nite now. They like it real well. I get so worried about leaving your mother here with the children so much. I am afraid she will get all worn out. I expect I should just give up & stay home. I hate to give my business to Blanch though, she has been so nasty. What do you think I should do? Wouldn't you think there would be someone you could get to stay? It sure is the limit. Well honey, I really must get to bed now. I only have a half day tomorrow but will be busy at home in afternoon. I love you a lot dearie and shall be looking forward to seeing you in the near future.  Goodnight. Hugs & Kisses Mommie & Kiddies.
P.S. Julia Hurst was in today to get her hair cut & she was telling me how good you looked & how nice you looked in your uniform. She was asking all about you too.
