Well Net I have my ticket and am all ready to start. Charlie and I are going out and take supper with Louis tonight. It wont be long before I will be on the road now.
Net, I have taken a 5000.00 accident insurance for 4 days. It cost me 1.00. Take care of yourself. Norman E. Shabino

Dear Net: Am in Miltown. Just got your letter. We would have finished stacking today but had a heavy rain yesterday. Don't know whether we can stack tomorrow or not. The roads are so bad Pa couldn't bring me in his car for a few days. Have been picking apples all day. Am anxious to hear from B. and R. but don't suppose they are home yet. Norman E. Shabino

Dear Nettie: I have been looking for a letter from you, but I haven't got any yet. I hope you and the boys are well and that you are getting along fine. We are having a fine time and a good Institute and I have been feeling fine too. I will be glad though, when I am home again. If I thought I could get a chance to ride out I would come down to Canistota on the noon train, but if I don't will come to Humboldt. Norman E.Shabino
