Dearest Rayson:

Your dear letter came yesterday morning, we had just finished washing. Hasn't it been awfully warm since Sunday? Just almost too warm to work and yet things have to be done. It looks a little like rain this morning, a nice rain would help things considerably.

Last night we were over to Aunt Vic's for a while. She is thinking about going west with us for the winter if she can find a place for Ryburn to stay during the hollidays when he comes home. She might just as well go and enjoy herself for she cannot watch him even when she is here.

The real estate agent called this morning to inform us that the deed is ready to be signed and the Kirby's want the house about the fifteenth of September and so that means get busy right away.

Dear I wish you would not feel badly about the little gift. Mother would like to have you wear it and too you know there will be many more birth days to be looked forward to and we will all be together to celebrate.

Mother and Aunt Vic have gone down town shopping and I stayed home to finish the house work. I have no desire to go to town at all here any more, all my friends are either out of town or on a vacation.

Mrs. Armstrong just called up and we talked for nearly half an hour.

Well dearest boy I will close this note as there is no news. With all my love and Mother's too I remain as ever, you own,
Edythe.
