Dear Ben, Helen + Children

I have a little time and don’t know what to do with myself. So I will send you this, letting you know I am ok.

Played a little “pinuckle”[pinochle] Don’t know how to spell it, but you know what I mean, lost a 100 francs $2 nothing else to spend money on. yesterday I broke even, So figure that wasn’t bad for two days.

Haven’t received mail for five days now. about tomorrow we should get a car load.

What heck is this “Bongo” deserve?

Too bad you lost those cows.

It was real nice and warm today just about right. Hope this finds you all. Your Bro Felix
