This is a lovely place2, but I miss my dear brother1 and sister4 very much. I am often so lonely for you both.
My hand goes up and down5, but on the whole it has gained. The weather has been perfect ever since we6 came.
J. Walker, black label7, is $5.50 a bottle here! So we got some Black & White8 for $4.00. Very inferior. If you and Meta were here to drink with me I could afford J. Walker.
Lovingly to you both Willie Mr. R. C. Cather1 First Savings Bank of Colusa Colusa3 California. U. S. A W. S. C. VICTORIA B. C.2 AUG 15 1941 11 PM CANADIAN
