"I have lost most of my ambition."

Aug. 24 – 1960

Ruth –

First of all I wish to thank you for the Birthday gift. I didn’t expect anything. I use size 10 ½ or 11 socks.

I don’t have anything to call up about either.

A year ago tomorrow – Aug. 25th – that my house keeper Ida passed away.

We have had quite a little rain lately.

Did Marie show up this summer? I suppose that she has plenty to do with her own family.

Margaret is about the same. She doesn’t write very often. I visit her about once a month or so. I don’t know when she will be able to come home.

My legs bother me some. Don’t know if I got arthritis or what.

You have a very nice place to live.

I have lost most of my ambition.

I suppose that you will go to the State Fair.

There hasn’t been much news in the Oakland paper lately.

Again thanking you; from Bro, Garfield
