Dear Folks:
Well mother today is your birthday and I surely do hope that you had a very enjoyable and pleasant birthday.
Have been receiving your cards and I surely do appreciate hearing from all of you. As a matter of fact I am saving all your letters and cards.
Believe me this is really a very rugged life out here on the range. But, I have never felt better in my life.
Tomorrow we go to the big range to site in our rifles. That will be at 200-300 and 500 yards. It seems like a very long distance but with the type of site we use one can site the target pretty good.
Mother, how did you stand the trip? I’ll bet you really had a good time. Wish I could have been with you.
Tonite I am going to turn in early. I mean about eight because we will be getting up about 4:30 am.
Surely do miss all of you. Will be glad when we can all set around the table again.
You should see my complexion. I actually am turning brown on my neck and hands.
Didn’t get a chance to write the Tuesday evening crowd last Sunday but I’ll surely get it written so you can have it next Tuesday evening.
This morning we had a very heavy fog until about ten am. It was sort of like a heavy mist.
Hope you get rested up from your trip and are soon ready to go on another one as I think it is good for you.
Tell all the neighbors and friends hello for me.
Love to all,
Leo
