Dear Lucille Jom:
Mar. 28
Glad you enjoy your place. How is everybody? I am somewhat better, the rest are OK. Tell Ray the little forks are fine.
It has been awfully pretty and warm here most of March. Nathan has gone to town today, supposed to help tear down that barn for his mother. Write us sometime again. News is scarce. I haven't gotten out much yet.
Mr. & Mrs. Tom Martin
