Dearest Joel,

	How are you?
We are all right, Sneed has
just gone to Kirven, he went
with J.B. and Nannie at
least he went along with 
them.  They are going to see
the air planes, air planes
are going to all the towns to
help the people to make up
the Victory Loans Bonds of
course they just draw the
crowd.  There was 2 came
to Fairfield last Fri and
Mamma & I went to see
them as we never had
seen any well the rest

they wouldn't loose the

PG_2

time to go.  I wanted Sneed to
go out to town with me
but he didn't want to loose
any from school but after
Jim Billie was going to see
them at Kirven he dicided
to go see them any way
Our school will be out
Fri any way.
They had an accident
with one in Fairfield
when they started to leave
as it started to fly it didn't
have very good ground and
it didn't get high enough
up and run in highway
and broke some thing about
it so it didn't leave till
next day. But no one was
hurt.  Well Sam Man-
ahan got home yesterday
while we were at church

PG_3

We heard he was caming
so as soon as we got
home from church, Hunter
Oliver and I went up there
I sure was glad to see him
and you can emagine how
glad he was to get home
Fred Carter has landed on
the side and Mr Walthaw
Brother Earl I guess they will
be home soon.  They had a 
party at Mrs Mathews Sat
night we went had a real
nice time and had preaching last 
night and I am so sleepy I
don't know what to do, and we
got up so early this morn
so Sneed could get off as the
airplane were to be in
Kirven at 10 oclock, they
left here about 5 oclock

PG_4

They set the time up again
this year 1 hour.
Clara didn't come over here
Fri as she Jessie & Cliff had
planed to go fishing at Bonner
bridge, she said they caught
enough for dinner & supper
Hunter & Oliver have gone to
field to plow corn.  Papa
has gone to tend to stock
It is a little cloudy this 
morning.  I hope it will
rain every thing is so dry.
Well I don't know anything else
to write so will stop for this
time with love.
	Your Loving Sister
