"Thursday Morning

7-8-43

Dear Margaret and Jim:

Just a note this morning to let you know we got your card and was(sic) glad you had a safe trip home.  Barbie is still a-sleep.  I believe she is having a very fine time.  I gave her a blanket to play with in the yard and she sure had fun."

Elsie Upton and Barbara - undated

"We have been having pretty warm weather but cooler this morning.  We had two cards and a letter from Ellen.  She is in Denver after quite a trip.  I wish she would get well and strong and not be so tired.  I must get a letter off to her. 

I have jelly to make this morning and get Dad's bills..."

"...made out for the 10th is just around the corner.  And I am behind with my book work as usual.

We took Barbie over to see V'Ona Tuesday evening and she had a lot of fun and last night she wanted Dad to take her to see V'Ona for she 'hadn't seen her in a long time.'

I enjoyed having you with us to(sic) Margaret and I hope you can come again.  I was glad to see Jim and was pleased he could go home to see his folks.  I have several things to do and must get busy.  Let us hear from you soon and often.

With our love

Dad and Mom

Barbie got to see Pat Ragan."
