Dear Cousin Hattie,
I'll drop you a card. We had a Mission Feast over. Jester, her and the Collector then was about 300. The weather was ideal, lots of machines from surrounding cities were here. Voyts and Dutchmen came with their autos also. Over former semester's wife (Mrs. Hafner) is there on a visit from Howard. Mrs. Box called on us. Mrs. Weber also was here for the Sunday. Doris is in Tollgun; she will call on you. Did you have a good California vacation?
