Things are pretty much the same here. How are you and the youngsters? I am still fit as a fiddle. We have had another rain or two, otherwise the weather is pretty nice. It seems funny not to have any freezing weather yet and it will soon be Thanksgiving. I got R.L. Letter yesterday and was glad to hear from him. Tell Joe he might try it sometime. I will try and get you some metal coins R.L. I guess you got the Francs I sent home some time ago. Honey this will just be a note. It has been some time since I have written a letter of any length maby I will get a good letter written one of these days. Sweetheart you will have to eat my part of the Thanks- giving dinner this time. Maby by next year we can have a real dinner. Give all the folks my love and keep lots for yourself + the kids. I love you Sweetheart Le
