Wednesday Nite.

Dearest Billye Jean.
    Honey how is my little Sis. tonight? I received your letter yesterday and was really glad to get it. I also received one from Lois & of course one from my darling Wife and "bebe." Today I received the paper with the news of our big boy and also about Dad & his grandson. I cut the clippings out and sent them to Anita.
    Well "Auntie" how does it fell to be an Aunt? I know you can hardly wait till you go down to see Anita & Russ. They will make a regular little nurse maid out of you but you should be good at that by now because you have two big babies at home to take care of. (Mother & Dad) Don't you think so? We love then very much dont we?

    Hon. I don't have Mearls address so the next time you write me please send it to me. Has Orville graduated yet? I will write Mearl a letter tomorrow and send it to you & you can send it on to her. Have you heard from Ray lately? I wrote him sometime ago but haven't received an answer yet. I bet Mearl would really like to be home for awhile. So would I. I sure would like to see all my wonderful family. I sure would like to see that big boy of mine. I bet he is the smartest one.
    Well Billye I must close now & go to bed so hurry & write and tell everyone hello for me. I will write Mother & Dad tomorrow. Give both of them a big kiss for me and you all besure & take good care of Russ. I'll be thinking of you all the time.

Love to my sweet little Sis,
Harmon.

P.S. Take good care of Mother & dad.

P.S. I also saw in the paper where Robert Wiggs got married. When you see him give him my best Regards. I think it would be o.k. for you to go with them to Fort Worth & then a bus to Ballinger that is if you will travel during the day to Ballinger from Fort Worth.

Love again,
Shorty.
