Dear Margaret Jean & Jimmie

  I was so glad to get your letter 

this morning that I have to sit right down and answer it. Clint is sleeping so he knows nothing of your asking us up.

  Yes he is still with the railroad

I am hoping he will get to stay & I believe he will. His seniority has pilled up pretty fast. We may be able to run up a couple of days next month. However if he takes a notion to come sooner I'll say nothing against it. He talks of you folks so often and I am very anxious to see the baby.
