Tuesday noon

Dear Mavis

Wonder how you are feeling today?  I received a letter this morning from Muriel.  She wrote it Saturday night.  I was hoping to see your handwriting on the envelope this morning but was dissapointed.  She said you were feeling fine.  I hope she is right and not trying to minimize it, for you were operated on Thursday and this was Saturday night.  Hope you will be able to write Sunday.

While I think of it, can you tell me where I might find our sugar and coffee books?  Mine and Mama's are both missing.  We have looked "high and low" for them.  I haven't found my number 2 book either.  Wonder how I ever got this far in life without losing my head.  Maybe I did once.

We had a flood rain yesterday afternoon.  It will be several days before we can work in the fields again.

The reason I was asking about the coffee and sugar stamps.  Carry was here a few minutes ago wanting to buy a nickel's worth of both for "my husband".  They have been out for two weeks she said.  I feel sorry for them.  There is really nothing happening here to write about.  Just a note to say "hello" to you.

Love,

Ruel
