Letter from Ty-Ty saying she wanted me to go to Van Horn next weekend!  Hope we can.  Betty and “Harry” Black came up and played Bridge – Bud was here but I believe he is discouraged with us. He is one of the “smallest” men I’ve ever known. Small-minded I mean!  And he takes such pride in his small ideas and ideals.

Letter from Santa Fe saying they never received my letter with the certificate from home or the $10.
