San Jose –
April 6th –
Dear Bro and Wife:
Well I should have written sooner but I have been awfully
busy the last few weeks. I have been selling Home cleaning machines
manufactured by Gun & bc company – the first in the world.
We certainly have had lots of rain lately – some of the
apricot crop has been frozen but all the prunes are OK so far.
Say old chap do you have any good liquor back there? One of
the fellows and I scouted around some to day but it’s hard to get unless you
are known. You can get plenty of wine but I wanted something a little stronger.
Is William still farming grandfather’s place?
I wonder what and how they settled grandfather Wineland’s
estate. I believe that we were supposed to get father’s share – because grandfather
often told me that we would on account he had to pay off a mortgage on the
mules that Dad sold and Judge Binnell had the mortgage.
Say old chap can’t you send me some fo the Osbone Farmer
issues also some of the old Natoma’s Independents? I’d like to see and know
what the old folks are doing back in the old home country. No foolin!
I get lonesome for the old gang and think back at times at
the times we used to have it all seems like a dream doesn’t it?
Tell all the folks that I think of them and don’t forget to
drop me a line –
Don’t be supprised to see me drop in some time I want to get
myself a good car this summer. Now write and tell me all the news and don’t
wait as long as I –
Your loving brother
