Otto and Elsie Go to Pennsylvania - 1946 - Part 3

This letter was written by Otto Upton.  He left school early - perhaps as early as the 8th grade.  I have transcribed his letter as written.  If anyone in the family has ever wondered where Barbara's interesting phonetic spelling came from, here is the answer!
