England July 24 'Mom Dearest' (Pioneer Day in Utah)

England July 24

Mom Dearest,

Got your letter yesterday along with a batch from Leona and a nice long one from Dad. Dad sent a picture of himself with with 3 other Mormon boys, it seems they've been able to get together quite often.

Pat is still my choice for today's celebration. After all, she is the sweetest and the prettiest of them all. I just wish I could be there in Utah today and you can bet your boots I'll be there for the next one.

Haven't heard whether I'm a daddy yet or not but I know I won't have to worry with so many helping and loving hands about. Thanks mom for the bathinett and all the other things you've sent over to Leona.

Things are going swell over here and I'll have lots to tell you when I come back. With all the beauty here though I still want Salt Lake Valley opening in front of me-Love to all-Lu

That was the way with every th...
