Dear Mother & all,

            Well I’m going to get a couple of letters off this morning if it costs the old man a cow. I have started letters the last day or two then put them off. I carried in a typewriters out of the office to write my letters on but after about thirty minutes of cussing and crying with the old worn out thing I fell back to the pen.

            I got two of the best packages from you and Roberta last night. It was really a jack-pot. So last night when we all got back from the show we had kind of a little party. If you could have seen the guys go down on those cookies Mama, you would know how good they were. We sure like them.

            It is still rain here and we are all doing about the same things. It has turned winter around here and you nearly freeze when you go out. There is lots of snow on the mountains.

            I was to church again last Sunday and we had a regular conference like they do there at home. They held three meetings that day but I just went to the first one. It was all real nice and the talks good ones.

            I had a letter from John J this week too He is in Utah working for one of his Uncles at a fruit stand making around $.50 a day. He said he thought he would do that for a while until he decided what to do.

            I’ve got to end this so it will go out this morning. I may write the girls while on duty tonight. Thanks for packages and hope you are all well.

Love to all.
Max
