Tuesday night.
Dear Martha,
I got your letter today and I thoug-
ht I would just drop you a line
to let you know that all is
well.
Mother said that she sent you
my address and that you would 
be writing soon. I got a letter
from Mother today.
I like it fine up here and
Vick, John, and Tom like it
also. We are all in the same
room. I am in the wood shop
and we make tables chairs etc 
nobody makes any complete thing
every body just has a part to 
do and with it all together, the 
job is completed
one

6 oclock and have breakfast. We
leave for work at 7:20 and work
untill 11:20 then we have dinner

there are about 25 up here
from Calhoun County. 
You ought to see my car
and ride in it. It rides better
than a new one when you
keep working on it. I work on 
it half the time and run it
the other half but it really is 
a good car. I went to Bruce
one day and got a load of feul
in it. A bunch of us boys
went to the show in it one
night and we got a race out of 
a Model A Ford and we ran
off and left him. Things
don't happen up here very
fast and there is
not much
news so I'll just quit 
for the 
time being.
So long-
Sonny Boy
