"Dear Jim & Marg't,

Letter from Mother W.(1) telling of accident.  Sorry to learn about it, but those things seems to happen to the best.  Glad it was no worse, but I know it is bad enuf.  Hope by this time you are feeling some better.

Good men are hard to find - & I am sure Mr U.(2) misses your help.  There's few able bodied men left around here(3) - Nice cool weather & plenty of wet, hard to get fild work done at all.  Very quiet 4th here abouts - most people worked.  one feels better when busy during these trying times.  War news looked bad.

Well look for a card now & then - will be anxious to hear what progress you are making.

My Love,

Aunt Agnes"
