Note: LETTER

We send you one silk H'd'f'k, one silk scarf, one pair stocking supporters also H'd'fK. Box I promised you when there. And two silk Handkerchiefs for Father. Would have sent them sooner but could not get the supporters for the box until now. Could not get them large enough and Lou pieced them for you hope they will answer as the best she could get here.
Geo. says to all you he has a nice large yard to play in and he can play croquet. He has a little bed in which he sleeps by himself he is very proud to think he is such a man.
I do not know how long we will stay here am thinking of going to some other town probably will go to Glasgow, Mo. I suppose you have certainly heard of Uncle Rodney's death before this I was much surprised to hear of it as I did not know he was sick that is more than usual.
Have you seen Aunt Kittie lately? How is she getting along would like to see her tell her to write to me as as I wrote to her last.
Lou, Geo. & Son send love to you & Father. I am your Son C. A. Bast OBITUARY - Intelligencer, Mexico, Audrain County, Missouri, April 14,1931
