Mom & Pop, Akron postmark, to HD, same. 4 small sheets, 4 pp.
I feel alright, but not a flower or nothing for my 35th wedding anniversary. They just now put the boat in the lake, and Minnie & I are to follow them in the car. Just heard a schot; they’re schooting all the dogs that are running loose, and $100 fine besides; 28 bitten by dogs in last week; several were mad. . . Just came back from the lake; the boat is in, at Warners landing. How are you? Out of the dining room? The kids are walking around the house; they want to go to the lake, but it’s still thundering & raining. Love & kisses from mom & pop. XXXXXX OOOOOO
