letterhead At the ranch - June 26 - 08 Dear Papa - Im feeling better and happier than ever for it is so gloriously
hot - 105 - 108 - 109 , and as it goes up I feel better and my spirits rise with the heat. There's nothing like the desert
in summer. Mr Van Dyke feels the same - the warmer it gets the better he is. We are all happy to know Stickeen is finished
- when do you start for the desert? I hope you'll enjoy the 04232
