Bayard Nebr.
Sept 15 - 1929

My Dear Lynn:

I have been looking for a line from you all summer as you said you would write me real often, when you went home. Anyway, I surely hope you are all O.K. and only too busy to write.

I am still at Bayard, think I shall try and keep my home for a while. Anyway, until I can find a buyer.

Cecile and little Bill are still with me, don't believe I could keep house with out them, for they are so much company. I get so lonely at times. I hardly know just what to do with myself, but must make the best of things, just as they are.

I have two rooms rented, one to the English teacher that lived with us last year and the other to a little girl that works at the Drug store. Have one more room to rent, think I can rent it to a factory girl, then I can see my way through for this winter at least. I have been doing some sewing, and go out nursing when ever I am called, which I like very much, and hope I can get enough work to keep me busy. Then I don't have so much time to think about things that cannot be helped.

Billy is doing very well in his school work this year. He is in the 6th grade. He has been wanting a saxophone so he can play in the school orchestra, but his mother thinks she can't afford one just now. Don't know just how they will come out, but suppose he will get a saxophone by and by.

I sold the shotgun last week. I disliked very much to see it go, as we have had some real good hunts with that old gun.

Would like to sell the Dodge before winter. I have never had the car out of the garage since the day your father drove it in for me. And that was the last time we shopped together -- on the 15th day of March. Well I recall that day. Do you think the car is worth $75.00 or not? And Lynn, I am wondering just how I can give a bill of sale if I should sell the car. Any advice from you, Lynn, would surely be appreciated. And I hope you will find time to write me soon.

Dorothy is ill with a very bad cold, was not able to work Saturday afternoon, she is working at Ericson Cash Store. Marjory is teaching at Mitchell this year. She came home Friday. Maude was to take her back this afternoon in the car.

Lynn, I wrote you a letter some time in May, but never received an answer. I surely hope you will find time to write me a line this time as I would be pleased to hear from you.

With kindest regards to you and your wife.

Very Truly,

Cecil
