Olive,
Mother said you wanted me to write and tell you all about the farm. W e ll, let's talk about the weather first. This has been the ******* wint e r I ever saw. First it snows, then it goes below zero, then it rains li k e **** for three or four days. Talk about the flood in Moses' days. I h a d to put on hip boots to get to the mail box. We were lucky--never go t i n our basement, but the people a mile south from here had their house s fu ll. I think it is going to rain tonight. Wendell got some more draf t pape rs today to fill out. He is going to Logan in the morning to get h is teet h fillled. I am setting up tonight with the sheep. We are gettin g thre e or four lambs each night. It is the sheep I bought of a Bishop . They we re to lamb in Feb 16th. Haven't lost a mother or baby yet. No t bad and ab out one third lambed. I think we will have over 100 head i n spring. We ar e milking 16 cows and that means a lot of teat pulling mi ght and morning- - 10 brood sows, seventeen acres of beets, grain and hay . So we will kee p busy this year. Yes, we are doing our part to feed th e soldiers.
We sold twenty tons of beef; three tons of pork and around 4500 lbs . o f butter fat beside grain and beets--and 185 tons of hay. I sold 37 t on s this fall for $15.00 per ton--that's pretty good. Yes, we got the ba c k taxes paid up--the first time in 12 years, around $1400 and paid up h al f the loan. So next fall if we have good luck we will pay the rest.
O, O, ran out of paper got to hunt some more.
It's not a bad farm, it has raised some **** good kids and lots of fo o d. Shirley has been sick but is fine now. Mother worries lots about yo u w hen she don't get a card or letter often. I haven't done much for yo u kid s but I did get you a good mother. She said I will live forever a s I neve r worry. You gave me plenty to worry about for about two years . I though t sure as **** you was never going to grow any hair on that ba ll head o f yours. Well, you got plenty now and it is pretty, too.
Dorothy got her picture taken--one smiling and one sober. I had Mrs . A nderson color them and sure are nice. She made one large one and kep t on e for a sample to put outside. Dort don't know that yet.
You asked how we got along on the gas rationing--fine--it saves lot s o f money. I ran out coming from Logan. It was snowing and dark, couldn 't s ee more than twenty feet ahead. So I walked one mile and a half to g et so me.
I've got a picture taken--willl send you one tomorrow. Would like on e o f you in your Red Cross Uniform. You have been gone so long I almos t forg ot what you look like. You sure done fine starting with a Lieutena nt. Kee p on and end up with a Major or General. I think So. California i s the pr ettiest place on the U.S.A.
We don't talk about the war anymore. It makes us all want to figh t . I sure admire the Russians. They are putting up a good fight and ou r bo ys in Africa.
Hope Herb is O.K. I thought he was a good lad.
Well, let me know what you think of the picture as I think it is go o d for being married for twenty-seven years. Well, I am going to look a t t he sheep, so good nite.
Dad
P.S. You will have a hard time to read this. I have used a pitch fork lo t s more than a pen. I am enclosing 5 bucks for you for the car stamp yo u g ot last year.
