he is around long you'll have to send Doc Frenert out to take care of him as he will be two years old this spring. Let Bill know ahead of time tho as he is running out most of the time. The other night I had a very dirty pair of coveralls that I figured I couldnt wash clean so I took them out on the line with me and dry cleaned them in a mixture of carbon tetrachloride and gasoline boy it was almost a professional job all the grease spots vanished and they look fine. I aired them for a couple of days and got the gas smell out and they are ready to grease up again. Had a letter from Uncle Raymond yesterday his sale was quite successful, in all it brought him almost $3000 and he didnt sell his tractor and cultivator as he thought the ceiling price wasnt high enough. His cattle sold real well and all the machinery he had bought almost doubled in price for him. I expect he will write and tell you about it. Aunt Ethel must have had a busy time of it as there were lots of relations there. They still dont know how Milan stands with the draft, I certainly hope they leave him home. Must quit for tonight and turn in soon as we get up at 5:30 on this shift. Love Johnny
