Dear Cookie- Your toilet case is sure handy I couldnt get along without it. ( Ive thot the Hatch thing over and I still dont resent what I said)  He runs a little loose the more rope he gets. Maybe he thinks I am ungrateful for all he has done etc. I take just so much. Got up at 5 drove Saratoga and came from there with another guy - to save gas - to save gas and wear. Im staying here tonight and tomorrow Saturday I will go to the farm - maybe I can get the ploughing done - I will have your pictures off Monday as I explained in Air Mail letter. Sent from Saratoga this morning maybe go to movie tonight, if not out to see Freeman or Aggie. We are having a warm spell.
