Dear Farther

My health has been very poor I am now up and about but I need much rest

Money is very tight here now that no cheese is sold next month should be better

My Business is increasing all of the time but I need more money to carry it on I paid $20 for a license the other day Suzi and Joey both go to school now they learn so very fast

Thy affectionate Son
John
