well. We have lost an awful lot of horses and are away understrength at present. But the four brutes are getting a pretty good ration of oats now. twelve lbs. per day per horse. So it is not as bad as it was. Well Father how did you enjoy your trip to Idaho hope you had a good time. I see by to-days paper the U.S. have come in. I don’t know what to think of it. blame them they stayed out so long they may as well stay out all together but it may have quite an effect on Germany I don’t know. But I think it would of finished up this year anyway with out them. but we should worry as long as it is finished. that is the main thing. for I am going to be chaseing a Cayuse over the Hills at Home next Summer. and say if any body says any thing to me about the Army or War. I’ll land on him with a ton of brick. and believe me. It will take a ton of dynamite to blow me of Rose Hill. Well I got to ring of for now.
Bert.
