If you have time you might call Paul J. Russell
3141 Aberfoyle St. and wish him a good vacation.

Dear Doris:  At last we hear - and Dad says "we are perfectly surprised!" Muggy here. Hope you aren't roasting. We go for a swim at Ames when Dad can be persuaded. Today picked the pears, aren't many and most are deformed. Dad works steadily on his List and for amusement helps me carry over shingles. We still have a lot left.. miss you on such jobs.

Expect to be home Sun. evening

We have just got back from a little ride to Avon where we picked 1½ qt. huckleberries.

Went swimming this afternoon.
