Dear Mother & Dad:

     We have been looking for you down since last October, maybe that will make it all the more pleasant to have you in August.  Glad that Lucine and Russell will come with you.  We are all fine, Harold leaves to-day for Stillwater, going to a meeting for a couple of days.

     We sold the car May 31 so I doubt we will come to Kansas.  We are walking now.

     Write again soon

Love Avis
