Hello Jessie, how are you these hot days?  Those pictures on the plains are not very good but I will finish some of them and sent them to you if you want them.  Are you going to school Jim (?)  ha! ha!

Dear Folks, I spent the day here, & that's the reason I didn't get to write.  There were 21 of us here.  We've had a great time, just starting home.  I'll write as soon as I get time.  Be good & write.  Love to all - Jessie.

Dear Daddy:

I am just starting to write a letter to mama, & I thot I'd send you a card.  Are you going to come down and drive thru with me?  How do you feel now, papa, better I hope.  It won't be long now until I'll be home, we are getting almost thru downs(?) here.  I was at Alva yesterday; Well, bye bye.

Lovingly,

Jessie.
