By August of 1953, I was getting desperate for more news from home, so I made up this "form" letter, which was pretty nonsensical, but Daddy rose to the bait. One of the funniest things is the way he signed this - and you can tell that we worried about politics, even then. The desperation of the situation on the farm - barely squeaking by - comes through in all of Dad's letters.
It is fun to see the sense of humor in both you and Dad.
