close relatives.
n The baby will be a year'and a half old

"Hope you are beginning to see the end of |
your severe winter. Some of the fruit
trees’such as apricots have already bios
somod and a lot of them'arc out at preSentJ
The grass'is very green, the hyacinths,
daffodils, forsythis, and Japanese Quince
are'all in blossom and it is quite beauti
ful. To have had quite a few 70° days.
wr’e haven’t been able to'be lonesome for j
the Alaskan winds as yet, for every once j
in Ja .v/hiLa, ..ua. have a good blow here just j
to keep us from being too homesick. Really I
we have missed Alaska‘very much in spite |
of the good food hero, There are mountains
here, but not so close nor nearly as'
beautiful as in the I'atanuska Valley, and
my eyes often hanker for a sight of
Pioneer Feak, Majestic Mountain and old
Lazy] And I miss the people so much even
though I haven’t written. I wonder'about
this person and that, about the I-TA, if
the Band is functioning, how the school is
going, which of the old teachers arc back,
what’s doing at the Co-op, and what not.
"Hell, if you can ever take time to ran
off a letter to the Paynes, be assured'
that it will be a most welcome epistle,And
do get that Valley Settler on its way soon
