Dear Family,
Mother just came in bewailing the fact that the deer ate her petunias down to the roots, last night. She says she just gave up trying to grow flowers around this place- at least until after hunting season. Every morning deer tracks around this place look like they have been having a conference. John Jenkins says they carry a calendar--- the morning the hunting season opens, next week, there is not a deer to be found.
Marta, your letter was the only one we received since my long Decker, we can understand your thinking when you say it would be too much work to come visiting now—with the baby so young. Maybe you can get a long week-end and next spring and come see us. We also understand the reason you did not take the eight year old Indian girl and we think you are very wise. It would not have been fair to Rinda to be relegated to another room, just so the Indian girl could room with someone her age.
I said no one else had written, but we did get a tape from the Stobbes about the same time as your letter. They returned that tape we had such a hard time filling and they pooped out before the tape ran out. They did not even erase the last bit so we listened again to my chipmunk speech. I did not realize until this tape that Frank had been so seriously injured. Someway I had the idea that it was a recurrence of his old injury, but he has a cast on the other leg now, which he injured in athletics.
If we don’t get word from our Tucson Bishop, that he has sub-let our Apartment in Tucson, we will go back, the last of this month, store our ‘chivas’ and give up the apartment. It looks like the Lord wants us to move away from Tucson.
If it gets too cold here, we might try space available to Quam. The only thing that worries me is not being able to get back from there if there are large troop movements. How about checking into this Frank?
Betty, our itinerary includes staying with you Monday the 29th, then getting an early start for Las Vegas the next day. If this is at all inconvenient for you, please do not hesitate to let us know,. Our plans are always quite fluid and easy to change.
Mother has had a hard time trying to get the material for your quilt. Do you have to sleep in a foot ball field? She finally had to send off for it. She won’t be able to work on it until we return from Tucson, but we will make her frames and she can do it here.
Mother joins me in sending our love to all of you,
Vaya Con Dios
Dad
