"Dear Stanley:
"The report you gave me on the farm livestock was very interesting. So you're a hunter now! Did you have the rabbits for dinner that you and Buzz killed? And about my cattle interests -- I think I'd better appoint you to make a count of my animals. After you mentioned the birth of a calf to my cow in the last letter. I got to thinking that perhaps I didn't really know very much about my cattle. So would you tell me how many cows and calves there are."
-- Letter from my father, Cape Girardeau, Mo., to my uncle Stanley, Bloomington, Kans., Wednesday, December 8, 1943.
