Grandma Letter To Mom ~~ Postmarked September 17, 1957

Dear Joan, 

I was so glad to hear from you last night.  I hope you are feeling better and that no one else catches it.  

This is fair week and what a week.  It has rained since Sunday off & on.  It looks like it is going to start any minute now.  The humidity is terrible.  And flies!  Ever ytime I open the door a million come flying inside.  I walk around with a fly swatter all day.

I guess we will buy the hotel soon.  Irvie said if all goes well settlement should be made in a month.  This is a devil of a time to move out there.  Cold weather is here almost and the place needs a new heating system.  There isn't any heat in the bedroom.  It has a big heat vent in the middle of the floor like Anne Freed had in her house.  The bathroom is warm.  

Write soon and be sure to take care of yourself.  

Love,
Mama
