Dear Folks…I haven’t written much lately so I’ll try to catch up now. I saw Cory Friday nite and had supper at their house in Cortland. They treated me like along lost son. Corey is a census taker in Johnson Township. They have sold their farm as you know and have moved into Cortland. This D.C. Osborn knows Cory well. I seems they were on the Fair Board together. Cory is going to do some judging at the various county fairs this summer, some of them in Indiana so you may get to see them then.

I went over to Alliance this afternoon where Taylorcraft Planes are made. The fellows were very sociable and even offered to take me a ride…for nothing. I managed to worm out of it gracefully even though it would have been quite a thrill to fly a brand new plane. They tell me that fellows have taken off and landed these planes with as little as 15 minutes dual instruction.

I hope mother enjoyed her day very much, I wanted to send some flowers to her and Berniece both but I am running a little close on cash right now.

I still haven’t heard where I go after Wednesday of this week so til I wire you where I’ll be, I won’t be disappointed if I don’t get any mail.

I had a fair week. Only two unites but plenty of parts and fly spray.

They are going to send Redding a new pump so if Dad wants something to do some afternoon, he might sneak out and see if they got it in okay.

I just wrote 5 pages to Berniece so I can’t think of much more to say.Me and the care are both running fine. I’ll have to clean it out and wash some of these days because it really a miss now.

My clothes are holding out fine and I’m fixed for two more weeks if necessary, anyway as far as clothes go. I’ll let you know when I found out where I go from hither,

Love and kisses…roger
