Dear Brother and Wife:

I am really ashamed of myself for not writing you sooner than I did – I have been pretty busy and have put off writing you folks longer than I should.

Well it has been quite wet here on the coast for the last couple of weeks, the most rainer winter than for a couple of years – but they surely need the rain.

I moved from San Francisco down here last week, to work this city for the company. I think in a week or so – after the people get Xmas out of their heads maby  then they’ll buy some Super Silk Hosiery.

I suppose that you have in a fair sized wheat crop this year? I’d certainly like to be back there and go coon hunting with you old timer – we’d get some no foolin – or we’d know the reason why.

I certainly would like to see you folks – couldn’t you possibly make it out here this summer some time. We could take in some wonderful drives and some beautiful camping and fishing places.

Have you heard from Father I cannot see why he doesn’t write me – I wrote him a letter last fall and he didn’t answer it – I can’t see – I’d sure like to drive back some day – I’d certainly give him a surprise of his life.

Just where in Idaho is Aunt Nettie and Joe located? Is Aunt Mattie and Bob in Loveland Colorado?

I suppose that Uncle Louis is in the same old place and William is still on the farm and, who is keeping house for Grandfather? Uncle George is still in Lomay – I forgot how to spell some of the old towns, I suppose Uncle Fried is on the Ranch out in Western Kansas?

I suppose that you see Uncle Clint and Aunt Mary often as you live near Fair Port do you not?

Now don’t wait to write me as long as I did you folks -Oh! Yes I have a big surprise for you one of these here days I’ll tell you all about it shortly –

Your loving brother

Irvin
