John William Graham letters, July-September 1942

1942-09-13 Page 2

I really like it better everyone isn't always lying on your bunk and messing it up. This fellow lives near Corning Iowa. He is a farmer interested in white face cattle, good horses and especially saddle horses he has two of his own at home with his father. A nice fellow his name is Bradford D. Jackson not Duane however for a middle name. I wrote B. D. Finch sometime ago but he has never announced it perhaps he hasn't gotten it yet.
So Jamie Cooney is getting married is he in the army as not. I know much younger is he than I am its been years since I've seen him I doubt if I would know him if I should see him. When in Texas I met a young fellow from Kansas City, whose father is well acquainted with Mr. Cooney I met him at the youngs.
I'm surprised too about your Methodist gossip old mitch has more life than I'd have ever guessed it's two had. Do you think they would like Bobby lt. as a preacher? Wouldn't she make more in the store or isn't.he doing much? Say hello to Miss Dulland for me tell her I'm very glad they heard from Eddie hope they (Japo) aren't making it two tough for him. 
So my silo house + shute is done I'm very glad it's done Mrs. Hay said she would take some pictures and send them to me. I'm sure Bill is the best half but she works hard at chores and outside work so they showed make money and they are good with stock. Thanks a lot Dad for sending Paul out to the farm to do carpenter work. 
I don't care whether Anton and Bill traded calves or not the value is about the same and I was just curious it was the little Jersey calf I was thinking of maybe that's the one but it doesn't seem it could be that old. We just had mail call and I have one from you and one from
