This letter was written on July 15, 1959.

Dear Dot and James and family,
How are you? We are as usual. Having lots of rain this week. It was so dark and chilly this morning. The sun trying to shine now. Pop went down town. I have written - this is the third letter this P.M.

 Jane called yesterday they plan to leave for Walters tomorrow to visit Ted’s folks. Coming back by here Monday the 20th. We will go home with them to stay with little Jan while they go to Colo. on his vacation. When do you folks get your vacation?  Doris you had better taken yours before you quit.

Edwin writes that Edwin Ellis is designing engineer at Lee’s Summit MO where he worked last year. He gets $475 per month.  I think Lee’s Summit is a suburb of Kansas City. Marie’s girls Lois and Judy went to Baptist Church Camp this week at Falls Creek near Davis Okla.
Karen was to go to 4-H camp but no other girls her age went so she gave it up.
She is visiting a few days in Blackwell with Elsie Sue and Charles. She will go with us to Stillwater next week.

Will Baker’s funeral was last Thursday and Mrs. Otis Brown’s was held on Saturday. Baker had a heart attack. Carolyn Mae Seitz came for the Baker funeral.

 Ruth Miller was telling me that Guy Snyder is studying for the ministry (Bernice’s husband). Will send you a clipping from Billings Paper - they always leave something out to cut it short. Hope it isn’t too disappointing. Well James you don’t know people here and it’s hard to write a letter of interest. Ruth writes she will be able to come home in a week. They decided not to operate, are using Physiotherapy. Love, Mom.

~Transcription note there is text written on the side:

They are having a bridal shower tonight for June Landis Wheeler.  I will go if it doesn’t rain.
