Sunday night we had a call at two o’clock and packed all of our field equipment and marched out to stay the rest of the week. I am glad to say that Florida weather is not always changable for this week it was perfect. Although the days were hot the nights were very warm and clear as a crystal. It is nice of Mildred to ask if I would like to spend a weekend in Jacksonville but I am sure that I cannot make it for I don’t have time. By the way we still haven’t gotten straight about the bank. Naturally when you say that I have $117 in the checking account it doesn’t tell me anything https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/b052290f3bd9c05c0fd659cd860d4eaa.jpg 30b4d3e459c9fe354ecf8ca48decf2b0 PDF Text Text for I have written several checks since I got here and there is no way for me to tell what is outstanding. Now this is what I want. At about the 5th of each month call the bank and ask if a deposit has been made for the month and the amount no statement is sent me here and there is no way for me to know if the money and the amount is deposited - and then the amout of money in my account. So everything is in order on the farm. I hope you and Nancy don’t move down there this summer for transportation is going to be perty tight this summer. Well I have got to stop and do a little work.
