Mama asked did he start drinking again because of anything she had done. Daddy said "no he was just having a good time." I had never seen him in such a state in my life before. He is ok today but he and mother barely speak.

Didn't get a letter today, you meany. What happened!
Darling, I've cried wolfe again. This morning I put on the harness. It was such a blessed relief I could have cried. After three or five days of anxiety, don't expect me to run such a risk again as we did in Abilene.
