Dear Anna
I received your letter of the 19th just as we were eating dinner. I also got one from Enoch. He is still at Charlotte, N.C. It is hard to tell when we will be leaving here. I hear they[‘ve] given the strikers two days in which to move out of their homes. I hope there is no trouble when they have to move. Everything is pretty quiet and I am going to town tomorrow if I can get away.
There must be something the matter with The Country Gentleman as I have not received it for four week[s]. Will you please write and tell them about it. Eddie Hain received a package of dates from Hattie Schutt. I do not know if Eddy received the wristlets yet as I have not seen him for quite a while. I received the helmet and bag yesterday. The helmet is certainly a dandy and fits fine. It is the best one I have seen yet.
I did not get Mabels letter yet.
There is a county fair going on about two miles from camp. There is horse racing of all kinds and agricultural displays of different vegetables fruits poultry and animals. And there are all kinds of gambling going on.
I forgot all about Eva’s birthday. Time goes by so fast that I do not seem to be able to keep track of it. Down here we do not know the dates or the day of the week. Be sure and send my watch the next time you send something. My wristwatch is running pretty good again. I suppose that is because I sent for my good one.
We hear all kinds of rumors down here. The latest one is that we are going to Presidio, Calif. I would not mind going there because it would be cheap way of seeing the country. I have read quite a bit about the Presidio and I would like to see it. But I suppose it is just like all the rest of rumors nothing to them. I hear we are going to have turkey on thanksgiving. I hope that is more than a rumor.
Well I cannot think of anything more just so I had better quit. As awhile after I mail the letter why I think of something I should have written.
Love to all,
Theo
