Hello Folks (letter to Carver Grandparents),
Hello Folks, I won’t promise you a very long letter tonight but I at least want to let you hear from me. It’s not too far from bed time and I’ll have to get up early in the morning so I’ll have to hurry a little with this.
I have spent most of my time today resting up from a hard week last week and sort of preparing for next week. It may sound funny to you but most of my time has been spent reading Sunday School papers which Mother had sent to me. I also went to chapel this morning.
I never can let a week go by without wondering how things are coming back there. I suppose you saw my folks at some point or other today. How do you like the new preacher by this time. I believe someone told me that they had dinner with you last Sunday. I suppose you had a chance to get a little acquainted with them and I hope you like them.
How’s the school house coming by this time? It seems like the summer is going awfully fast to me and I’m sure it’s going a good bit faster for you. It seems that with my folks all so busy in the factory that they won’t be able to give you much help this summer but we hope they won’t have any experience this winter such as the moving around they had to do last. If they are in Orestes it should be possible tor some of them (at least Jim) to help out some on the school house.
I wonder how the weather is back there now. I wish you could be getting some of the rain that you need so badly. We have been getting a good bit of rain but it sort of gives things a sultry effect and makes it seem hotter than ever. Right now I am writing without a shirt on and the sweat is standing in great drops all over my back.
Well I hope you are coming along as well as can be expected. Let us keep looking to God for help and strength.
Your loving grandson,
Donald
