Dear Ed if or
Tulla Is about to gain a new family
and I want to tell you a little of
what to expect from them I hope
they will not be so conspicuous that
they will feel uncomfortable You
see these folks arc just confused In
this small world where we are hurrying
to do unto others before they
can do It to us Maybe they have a
recollection of an earlier rule worded
only slightly differently
My wife and I met these people
just about two weeks ago in the
Castro County hospital at Dimmitt
The man was a heart patient and I
was there for an altogether different
reason When I was released from
the hospital my wife and I were invited
to spend a few days in their
home so that I could be near the
doctor None of the family was at
home so as complete strangers we
moved in to cat sleep television
and generally make ourselves comfortableI hope when Mr and Mrs Junior
Wyer and daughters Sonny and Jerry
get to Tulla you will be just
half as nice to them as they have
been to us Junior is improving
right along and Im sure they will
see you soon I am not sure of their
Tuiia address but Im positive they
will be easy to find Junior is with
thr Highway Department
Also I appreciate the nice treatment
I received from the good look

hospital Even the doctor acted halfway
