Dear Ones: -
Our good old summer time has come in earnest this time I guess. The last three days has been hot, hotter, hottest. Irma continues to improve and is doing finely the doctor says. She does not sit up yet but hopes to in a few days.
We have had two hard thunder storms to-day.
Hope you are all well.
Lovingly,
[Unreadable Signature]
