Larry is eating breakfast. He is sure doing fine in school. Betty honey I have a big cattle and a baking dish here for you when you come down. The cattle is from Bernice + Greg and the baking dish from Kenneth + Dorothy Taylor. Edith, Minor + Martha were over yesterday evening. Betty Lou and Kate has a baby girl.

So come down Friday if you can come. That will be the 12th. Bye-bye – aunt Naomi." Paragon Indiana is a very small town and I think this letter mentions most of people living there!
