It looks OK and seems to be large enough to work in. Revah has a – Was interrupted here and we had to drive out on road where truck had a worn out bearing. The truck will be OK and it will be ready tonight. We expect to get it home in a couple of hours.

Mr. Darden, Revah & Mother were at home when I got there last night. We ate dinner with them at Roxie this noon. They will be at Revah’s tonight. We don’t expect to use much labor at Revah’s this time. Mother will cook for us.

With love to all & a better letter next time

Your
Walter.

Hope you found all OK and that you had a good trip
