   Robert has not realized anything in a financial way yet from his patents but he is very hopeful. He has a rein holder device which he is pushing now and from which he hopes to get money to push the more costly devices. The rein holder is a device to be attached to the dash board and will retail for 25 cents. His plan is to sell state rights to active young men who will push the sale of them.
   We have heard from Carroll and from Charlie this week and Eddie phoned to us last Sunday. They are all well and we are all well at home.
   We have had a cold spell with snow since my last letter so we have no garden made yet but now the snow is all gone and its more spring like.  
   With much love from each of us.

  Your brother,
  Edward.
