Dear Nelli,
I forgot ask a few questions and also to answer a few. About the big boat and motor, the boat should be worth $75.00. Ask Plain about the motor. Who wants to buy it. Sell if you can. We can have a new one later.

Have you got a lens for the light yet if not so please order at once. Have you paid Johnny for the flowers? We have had good meal for a change today it is also rained all day and is nice and cool

Well must close
Love Phillip

I asked her to write to you went sher got home, she is leaving tonight in the 6:45 bus and will et Burlington Tuesday night.

to change my mind. I don't know and doubt if I decide until the last minute. I am a little afraid that if I should get it that I wouldn't get out as soon as I would as a private. Really that is the only reason I can't decide.

This time we are shoot as a squad at targets that are partly hidden. We will have 8 hours, but it is divided into 2 ranges, 4 hours each. Most of the boys are in this weekend.

Coca Cola Cooler; Scales; Refrigerator; Cash Register; I don't see why you want the pickup. We can see after some of those things when I get home. Well will sign off for now.

Love Phillip
