Dear Jim,

As you know I have been working all summer.  I am now on my vacation in Astoria.  I will come to Eugene this coming Sat.  I think the bus leaves here at 7:40am - and gets there at 3:30pm.  I am coming down on the Oregon Motor Stages.  If nobody is there to meet me I will try and see you before I catch a bus to Dexter1.  I also wrote Aunt Net that I was coming so if everything is okay I will see you Sat.

Your Cousin,

Joe C."

1 Joe is taking the bus out to Dexter to visit his maternal Aunt - Janet (Net) McAdam Waning.

After all those horrible, hard hours at the dairy, he deserves a small vacation before school starts up again!
