Well, Bob this country is changed so since we was boys that I do not know what to write you, that would be of interest to you. I could tell you of some flood incidents, but suppose you read it all in the papers at the time.

I see your Father often, he is the same old John.

We have had a cold wet spring everything is away behind, though wheat looks fine corn is having to be planted the second time.

Bob write and tell me how you are getting along, and how many children you have. Tell me all about Cook and John Jones - anything you want to know ask me, I will tell you.

Yours & c,

C.N. Hall
