Dear Flora & William

     I didn't forget to write. I've just been so busy - and since momma wrote you soon after the announcement of little John's arrivals, I put off writing until now when there are no more lesson assignments made for the next day.

     Although I'm rather later, I congratulate you most heartily, and I hope that little John will fill your lives with sunshine. I don't know what gifts he may have received by this time, or what he could still use, so I'm enclosing a dollar for which you may get him a little remembrance or put in his bank. I'm real anxious to see him. Carroll and Emma were here this P.M. and we told Carroll that you would bring John along in a basket. He looked so funny and said, "in a basket?"

     I hope you and John are well. I suppose Helen is still with you. You spoke so much of Helen when you were here that I almost feel as though I've met her. Its fine that she can be with you. And how is little Homer? The cow sure must have been working good when Alma was up there or we wouldn't have had that delicious cottage cheese, ha, ha! Guess you know what I mean. I believe that was the best cottage cheese I ever ate. No wonder Alma got so fleshy - you fed her too well.

     Rev. Orlowskys celebrated their silver wedding anniversary last Sunday. Ella, mamma, Mrs. Rev. Schmale, and I were out there. It was a lovely day. After the service we all had lunch out on the lawn where the ladies had set the tables. I've had some real sandwiches. Mrs. Schmale was here again for a few days. This time I had to do the cooking (I know you're not sorry). She is planning to spend the winter in Ann Arbor, Mich. I'm glad we could have her with us again - she sure is getting old.

     Will close, for tonight. Hope to see you before many more weeks.

     With lots of love to all,

          Julia

My Dear Ones!
To our great joy we received this morning at about half past nine o'clock the news of the birth of our dear little son – we rejoice with you, dear ones – and thank especially the faithful God - that He has made everything well, and graciously helped so far. May He continue to be with us - so that also Flora will soon recover and become strong again – now that she also has become a mother - also a great grace of God, for which we cannot be grateful enough.
With love, kisses and greetings - especially a sweet kiss to the little Altenbernd.

     SPRINGFIELD, Missouri -- Two former state officials and a number of Springfield business men Wednesday were revealed as heavy losers in an "industrial" venture which yesterday caused the arrest in Chicago of G. C. Stoerker, 31, upon charges he had misappropriated $100,000 in Pasadena, Calif., and cashed worthless checks there.
     Among those losing by promotion of the National Spectralite Company here, it was learned, were: Roy B. Hinkle, of Jefferson City, former state labor commissioner; C. E. Stephens, of Springfield and Jefferson City, former state treasurer; Rev. Paul Stoerker, minister and brother of the accused man; Roy Peacher of Springfield, who failed to get more than $1,000 salary due him, and other Springfieldians.

Thousands of dollars worth of stock was sold here and elsewhere in the National Spectralite Company.
